I would have to call BS on that man. Did you blead both sides of the caliper in the set up? My unit was offering next to nothing as far as stopping power in concerned until I saw the other speed bleeder on the inside of the rear caliper. Now the bike stops on a dime with just the rear (if needed of course!).it offers no braking force whatsoever... when i had mine it had trouble holding me from rolling back on a decent hill. looks great, but if you use your rear brake whatsoever don't even consider it.

Dude, I don't wanna thread jack, but how's your Hawk GT coming along? I always look for updates!!!Just a question about your wheels (bst)
How long have you had them?
How many miles on them?
Street or track?
How are they holding up? Would you invest in them again?
Thx

+1 ISR makes junk and that setup is useless except for the fact that it's light and hidden. I don't think I'd change mine out as I don't use my rear brake much.hahahaha i'm not an idiot, it was well bled and lever feel was excellent, pads were new, rotor was fine... it's NOT powerful. i prefer the brembo setup 100x.
Nice finds and famous last words "one of my last parts...?" LOL![]()

Your axle is in backwards?What am I talking about?![]()
You could replace the bst sticker, that one looks a little worn out. I knew bst's were crap!this is One of My LAST Parts...?

Oh, and you could get magnesium hubs for the bst's if you don't already.

having owned/own several of these mini calipers and i currently still have two bikes with them i have found them perfect. I do NOT like brakes to lock up with little or no feel and this caliper does that function perfectly. more then 80% of your braking power comes from the front spending time to lock uop the rear makes little or no sense IMO.HAhahahaaa.. You caught that eh... Remember though... I do have a "?" in there.![]()
Joking aside,.... The list of aftermarket\"Thorsten" parts I have in this Awesome machine IS Long and when I think about the $$$s.... I have in her! It is :wacky <Crazy mang. but at the same time, she >:rockon <She rocks.
So Yeah,... The LAST DREAM Part I would buy, would be "Thorsten's Race Alt." Then I'll be Done!
Jami,.. I don't know what your experence is with ISR calipers BUT IF You are basing your whole thinking on these little hide away caliper(s) alone...? Then YOU, you really Don't have a Clue then because ISR makes some Great braking Calipers!
Does anyone know IF there is different Compounds pads for these little calipers?
