OUT with the chrome.
 
I just ordered Don Pender floating rotor, 6 spot caliper, stainless line, 13 mm master kit. I then thought while its apart might as well add the Lansdowne dampers units and new ikon shocks. I know it’s a long way from the standard look of our commando’s but it only a few bolts to bring it back to the stock brake and master. Modern traffic needs modern brakes my new moto.
 
When I first started racing the Seeley 850, I had one Locheed AP calliper with a chromed disc off a Suzuki GS1000. It was nowhere near enough brake. I ended-up with two Suzuki steel discs with very old asbestos compound pads. I tried racing pads, but they never seemed to work well enough. My master cylinder was designed to operate one calliper - it operates two. The brake is excellent - one finger operation, and needs to be like that, if someone stupid brakes in front of me.
