Spot on matey, will do so now. fingers x

Might sound daft mate but have you thought of just using some 10mm washers. they do come in various outer diameters. If a couple make upto a bit more than 5mm it will not matter.

[The Clam Jowster]

its a thought bud, but i just assumed as there is such force going through that small calliper that the recess that fits snug into the calliper/fork was there for a good reason to stop any kind of slipping, didnt fabcy messing with forces greater than me

[ZX10R-RACER]

remember there is a lip on the honda spacers so they press into the caliper, might not make much difference but i would`nt feel comfortable with some made up spacers as when there pressed in it`ll stop the calipers moving up/down under hard breaking

Agree. well if i dont get any joy with someone on the forum or another breaker i wlll just have to bite the bullet and order some monday for silly money , really wana get the buggers on and get some hard braking on the go so i can get that little bit more out of he

Hi Spence, I use washers for spacers and havent had a problem. Used 'em at Donington where braking into Esses and Melbourne Loop is pretty heavy and they were fine.
