Standard disk brakes/ Radial - slimwilly - 26-12-13 Could someone point out the difference of radial disk brakes,,i know it's to do with the positioning of the caliper, but whats the definition? Re: Standard disk brakes/ Radial - Falcon 269 - 26-12-13 Google it. https://www.google.es/search?q=radial+disc+brakes&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&gws_rd=cr&ei=UOm7UpThAYjs0gXylIGIAQ Some good diagrams/photos a few search links down the page. Re: Standard disk brakes/ Radial - locksmith - 27-12-13 Well I didn't understand a word of that explanation. They move the calipers away from the thinner tube of the upsidedown forks to stop vibration under braking? Re: Standard disk brakes/ Radial - Falcon 269 - 27-12-13 Damon l'Anson's explanation is very clear. http://damon-ianson.hubpages.com/hub/Radial-Brake-Mounts-on-Motorcycles-Fad-or-Function Well, clear to me ... Re: Standard disk brakes/ Radial - richfzs - 27-12-13 That is clear, Indeedy... Seems like a different answer to the first one though (and more likely?)? Re: Standard disk brakes/ Radial - locksmith - 28-12-13 Does seem a better real life explanation. I'll stick with the old R6 brakes then :lol Re: Standard disk brakes/ Radial - Mattsplat - 28-12-13 As soon as my radial caliper spacers arrive from DevilsYam, I'll tell you  Re: Standard disk brakes/ Radial - slimwilly - 29-12-13 So it appears that it is all about the caliper mount,,and the caliper mounting bolt positions,supposedley stops twisting of the caliper due to braking forces,and is important that the caliper is between the axle line of the front and back wheels.as was higher up on the disk,nearer to the fork. Re: Standard disk brakes/ Radial - Falcon 269 - 29-12-13 Appears you've understood it pretty good.
