Functioning to design intent then! 😄
I've done the twin disc conversion on mine and it now actually stops!.

Same hear Mark, the twin discs do make a difference with the original callipers but still leave a lot to be desired compared with the modern bikes.
PS. I bet you have stuck at least another 60 miles on your new Duke today. 8)
See you tomorrow if you can make it

It depends what master cylinder is used and how they are set up as well Graham, mine are really very good and not that far behind modern brakes, not blowing my own trumpet there it's just that more by luck than judgement I've ended up with very good brakes, fireblade master cylinder, seperate braided hoses and it will squeal the front tyre, never tried them in the wet mind!.
Only 50 on the scrambler today, talked too much! 😄, I'll make up for it tomorrow though!, what time you thinking of going to CMC?
