    Right ive been riding around running in my bike for the last few days, and ive notice that i really would benefit from so better brakes. i have been thinking about oversized discs and larger calipers but need to know what you lot would reccomend.
    do 125 piaggios have better calipers than 50's? and are discs the same size?

    :w00t: oversized dick!

    Sr brakes are one the best.
    They use the same calipers and discs from sr50's on 125's.

    New pads, brake fluid and a good clean up will have yu endo'in like a ''shit hot'' firestickz up your assss! :w00t:

    i was gonna say, the 50 and 125 use the same brakes, i can lock the front wheel with one finger, how much better do you need? the only problem is repeated heavy breaking can fry your fluid (que mr. tweak)

    well its the new sr50 and they are really good brakes, ok well if the calipers can handle it i might get the oversize disc. but i do ride heavily, im a big lad and do a lot of town riding so need some good responsive brakes.
    any pads that are going to imprve this? and also i have a new rear shock and is brilliant but think im going to get better forks, what would you recomend?
