I always thought they were both 36mm but I've never measured them.

Hi Julio , here are photos of my 1986 4 pot conversion. as you can see the 1986 mounts the caliper inboard of the ears on the fork leg so the threads in the caliper remain.

For what its worth, my two disc OEM ATE setup is more than sufficient. I can do a "stoppie" if needed. Can't imagine needing more. I am more unnerved by fork dive.

Just a mention, I had a need to dramatically decrease speed from the 100 kM/h speed I was travelling at to 80 kM/h speed limit on the road.  [smiley=whistling.gif]

The twin Brembo's on the LS caused me some serious concern when I grabbed a handful. I hadn't tried an emergency stop from that speed before so as someone mentioned in another thread "know your bike."

I don't think I'll need to fit the Dual Four Pot Brembo's I picked up. I'm still a bit intrigued by the possibility (or improbability) of ABS and this unit came from a BMW with ABS fitted.

Don't anyone hold their breath, though.

Had a bit of brake dive, did you?

[Graeme]

Yeah! But I did feel it in imminent danger of locking up. It turned out the "hazard" wasn't real; just a white car parked suspiciously off the road.

I would've been "gone" at that point anyway.
