Billet 6

[BillN]

Here on EBay

did anyone on here buy it - not a bad price, (£85), - probably £250 new

I did not bid as I have never liked the look of the things and this one looked a little "tatty" as well.

I think that the pads are also quite expensive, (but what price do you pay for good brtakes), and of course you need 6 of them

Not me, just need to get my brake hose sorted and the HE rotor back on. My option, IMHO looks "nicer" than that caliper.

I had a friend who had a pair of these on a custom built Ducati. He was scathing in his assessment of them - apparently they never worked properly and were a pig to maintain - wishes he'd used something else (and given the 10 minute reliability of the rest of the bike, that's quite a condemnation )

I put a pair of them on my Valkyrie along with cast discs and that made the bugger stop. Good kit, ihmo, but always buy the anodised version. To much maint on the polished ones.

Thunder?

Thunder?

Thought he only did bikes with two brakes at the front end

Not sure if the "new" Desert Storm has one or two discs

I chucked in an early low bid.

Not me honest, the new revised DS will have a Billet 6 fitted but as it has WP forks and an adapter mount this would not fit.

Mind you someone got a bargain
