    Well after a long wait to find some decent second hand callipers that fit the Ohlins FGRT 204 forks I came up trumps with these :)

    Also bought some nice titanium banjo bolts, bleed valves (on order), rear disc bolts and pad sliders pins from Phil at www.Racebolt.co.uk who are based in Bristol, so I just popped down to the workshop to collect them :) ended up talking bikes for 1hr lol, would highly recommend them.

    So anyone thinking of getting the Ohlins forks the HPK calipers fit with no spacers, the M4's which now look very sexy on DaveV's blade don't ;)

    They feel firmer and bite a bit earlier but that may just be pad differences, to be fair I hardly used the M4 on the blade before I sold them, they were outstanding on the 1098S I had though !
    They are instantly better than the std callipers though !

    I almost bought your calipers before you but went for the shock lol
    Will have a better idea what they are like once I get bike back from dealer as I fitted last night and had to give bike to them this morning :(

    I had to adjust my shock to react quicker under hard braking lol. Hopefully youll have your bike back soon. It really does look gorgeous

    Aye you need to clean up the disc as they set theyre own film on top basically. Not sure theyd be any good on a road bike as they do need a bit of heat.

    The standard brembo pads were sweet too but too dear to run for a season!
