    It would just be down to personally preference on looks to be honest. Also the new accossato M/C is meant to be really good. It was in either the fast bikes mag or performance bikes mag and they really rated it.

    Has anyone any idea what the second threaded hole is for opposite the bleed nipple on these M4's

    There's nothing in the box to screw in there.
    It's an M6 thread.
    I am wondering if it's for a second bleed nipple.
    Any ideas folks ??

    Think its blanked off , it has a drop of white paint by the thread so the blank is probably been torqued

    Is it actually a whole or is there a cap screwed down inside but still leaving threads exposed above the cap?

    It's hard to tell TBH, I'll dig out the flexi light and see what there.
    I do think it's a bit odd that they cap all the other apertures off and leave these open.

    Will report back :D

    Yep...looked in there with fibre scope...it's a blanking plug with the threads exposed above it.
    Drop of copperslip to go in there I think, stop it filling with crud and corroding.

    About to order a set of M4 calipers and the RCS m/c and just wanted to know if there was anything else I needed to order??

    I have goodridge lines already. I planned on reusing the standard reservoir pot. Do I need to order banjo bolts?? If so, what size??

    Cheers

    I'm about to buy a set of M4's for this reason. My standard calipers drag like hell.
    Do you think it was the calipers that made the difference, or the fact you removed the spacers??

    On M4's I will still need to run the spacers I believe?? Are the hpk's a different size??
