question for anyone who uses big windle brake disks

[Deano21]

i have bellas chassis with windle running gear ( same as baker if ya dont know lol)

and am using the big 320mm windle disks on the front with r1 calipers and aluminium carriers

does anybody who has this set up or had it ever have problems with the right caliper catching the road when going round lefts?

would it make any difference to braking if i where to get some longer bars for the top of the aluminium carriers so that it would push the calipers back and up just below the folk leg so they were futher from the road??

cheers

yes may be a little adjustment if possible

[Deano21]

we found if we set them back as far as the total adjustment on the rods the end of the caliper is closer to the ground lol it's the way the r1 calipers are shaped

simon doesnt use yamaha r1 calpiers does he??

Hi
as far as i know he has no R1 calibers. we have and had never a problem.
May be ask Tony Baker about this problem. He built my bike.

simon neary uses the same calipers as me and tony baker...we both use the bidder discs too and haven't had any issues(but ours are all bakers outfits????) the calipers we use are crb600/blade 900/1000(not the radial mouted ones...but i do know that pete oulton has them on his baker and has no issues neither)....i do have some as new radial calipers(off a late 2007 cbr) for sale if of any use(they have been checked,stripped and cleaned too)

Dean is it actually catching the caliper and scuffing
i have same set up on new bike and no probs
Ian bell/Dave Lillie used the same mate too

yeah it's worn half of the bleed nipple away on the bottom lol

well theres only one thing for it, gunna have to get mark to put on some weight so that the chair wheel doesnt lift as much lol

[LCR1000]

should the bleed nipple not be at the top of the caliper

[tufty113]

yes if it was designed for the use it was mounted for ,but these calipers are from road bikes and are not normally mounted this way.....

try any old trick.
wined the right leg up buy 25%
if not turn your wrist

The problem is caused by the shape of the R1 calipers and the way the Windle mounting plates are shaped.
