Thats right, the laws of physics regarding the wheel was over turned in 2005, radial is the new round








Only joking pal, its radial mounted brakes, most new bikes have them

It is going to be wicked. You riding this at Oulton, Tony?

forgive my stupidity whats a radial?

i mean i have circular wheels but does that mean that im running on square tyres aposed to your radials?

im lost somewhere

Nothing to do with wheels and tyres mate. Radials are forks and callipers, they mount differently so you can use different size discs,rather than bolting the caliper on the side of the forks. Radials mount at either end of the caliper straight through to the forks. I think it improves braking and have less flex.

That's my shit explanation !

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

now im enlightened, everyday is a school day is becoming a new phrase in my life :)

can i see pics of said radials?

radials

if you dont know. now you/I know!

Looking at the drawing, the simple logic of the engineering stands out. Presumably, one can retrofit a "radial" brake caliper adapter to regular mounts? Doesn't look stiffer, tho, without additional engineering on bracket.

Which makes me wonder if the old brake design design couldn't be further improved through re-designing the caliper to center the mass around the front axle, with a "flying" pad design wrapped around a V-profile disc for lower rotating weight & better aerodynamics. But it wouldn't be very, er, "radial"...

Well happy with the condition of the pipework, cans will clean up and look ok swapped over to hide the damage. Im still amazed at how light these puppies are.

Tony, very nice to see that you have this TSR system at last it that turns out very nicely on your bike. I do see you have a slight different system...when looking at the sections welded on your Ti system it tells me this is from the earlier batch that TSR produced. The ones I have/had (and now Kris ) are smoothend from an later batch with a bit more tube bends instead of welding. Keep this gem and enjoy the sounds and looks! (PS: pm sent back).

Yes a 06 Radial front end, my current setup needs to go first tho, roll up roll

Only bike i have at the moment mark so yeah i'll be on this, track fairings of course Bit concerned about the noise regs tho, 102db are they strict? i dont wanna have to drill those lovely TI endcaps.

Just to scare you a bit! My Mot man measured my ethos which is on my seed with db killers in and they were 97db

I would say the TSR are quite a lot louder again!

Mine!

Jason, i had a feeling there was 2 generations of this system, the cans on mine are also different without the rivet bands which i prefer and obviously a different badge. Your be pleased to know mine still has the fitment issues with indicators and tail section, ive been at it on and off for 2 days now adjusting the fit and finally the angle grinder came out today Dont worry i wasnt attacking the TSR pipework, just the front pipes.

The race subframe isnt making like easier either, well its fine but not when your fitting a standard undertray and 1 piece seat unit that has to carefully strech over everything! Major headaches today but ive spent the last hour just staring at it and i think ive sussed it, bit late to get the angle grinder out tho

Bloody eagle eyed Jas Didn't notice the pipework was different Tony!
