Drilling the discs can make a considerable difference in weight! I removed 1,5 kg in total from 2 discs.

Hi Andy,

Many thanks for the update, it sounds like the effort and cost is well worthwhile.

I need a day or so to complete the job on my K4, your information has been very helpful and great motivation👍👍

Totally agree that losing some weight would help and I'm sure that braking would be further improved with thiner discs as they would heat up much quicker.

But as I want to keep the bike as std as possiible neither are options or routes I can go down, such is the price of originality, even with twin discs.

Kunifer never corrodes and is a damn sight easier to form to shap, also gives a beter flare in my experience

That is why I used it to make the RH solid brake line. However, it does have a slightly coppery finish so I had a length zinc plated before bending and flaring it to match the original finish of the LH side.

I see that all new replacement solid brake lines have an olive finish.
