I installed the Beringer 6 pot front caliper with their metal sintered pads yesterday in my Bonnie.
It is the perfect complement to the EBC floating rotor that I already have.
Quality and workmanship is first class, lever feel radically changes, I barely needs to apply pressure in the lever for a full short stop, if I press hard lift the rear wheel.
I can't be more happier with that, finally I have first class braking power in my Bonnie, maintaining the single disc configuration.
I hope this info can be of good use to you fellas! :wink:

Carlos, got to love that caliper!
great seeing you yesterday. Your bike looks outstanding, sounds unbelievable, and I can imagine it rides to match!

Time to change your handle to Bonnie1100 now. :wink:

oh, here's the pic of my bike you asked for.
don't mean to hijack.

Interesting that you chose the EBC disc (rotor) rather than the Beringer preferred cast iron version. Your choice makes sense to me. Cast iron may make performance sense but it's a pain to maintain. My first choice was Beringer but local supplier hassles over the cast iron thing drove me to Pre-tech.

Good to know...that thing costs enough! I have the floating rotor sitting on my desk waiting to be installed, the 6 pot is next!

I had no complaints with the front brake of my OTHER '05 standard black...... the one on THIS one SUCKS!

I wish I had the money to improve upon my braking power.

Hey Mase, it was a pleasure to met you Saturday!
Many thanks for your compliments!
Your exhaust system looks great, absolutely unique!

I had the EBC rotor for more than a year, so naturally I keep it, to find if it is a match for the caliper.
IMHO the combo works great, so it will stay!

Brakes, tires and suspension. Best investment you can make. When the 904 gets home later this month, I start saving for the brake upgrade in the fall. I shoulda probably put brakes on before the horsepower.........nah. By the way, great lookin' blackie!
