I’m surprised that carbon rear rotors are even a thing. I mean… one would have to be using them a lot to get them to operating temps.

Sicoms and most other carbon disc options are carbon ceramic, so they don't have the same temp requirements as carbon-carbon discs like what's used in GP and F1. Carbon ceramic doesn't need to be hot to function.

nope, not the Sicom, completely new material technology, stop great cold, stop even better hot.

having said that, I only have Sicom on the two front rotors, waited 9 months for the rear and still aren’t here.

Yes… that’s interesting, I just read the product description.

They don’t have a website though and endo’s rear brakes don’t work so that’s a big no no from me.

We’ll I wouldn’t go that far. I don’t use the rear. It’s on there because the bike needed a rear rotor and I reasoned to put the least amount of rotational weight and spung mass as I could so the Sicom was it. The rotor has been played with a couple of times but in all fairness, with Sicom and their pads as Steven eluded to they need to be properly introduced and they haven’t been. Looks like Sicom and Braketech are very different. My Braketech rotors needed nothing but a couple of slow down passes and they are amazing. The precision of the EVO calipers and the GP lever with these rotors are for me something I have never experienced and I have had pretty decent parts over the years.

I think they don’t work because the pads were not baked in properly, normal riding you will never get the pad material heat cycled properly for initial setup unless you follow their procedure

You guys should talk Endo into showing you his bike build,

There’s not another bike like that anywhere in the world for any price, and it’s a thing of beauty

Very kind words from a well respected individual. Honestly, I have shared the latest build with a few people who I felt would appreciate what I’m into which is somewhat of a departure from what most people are into. I don’t really have any desire to put it on the board in another “look at me” post but I do appreciate the kind words from the few who I have shared it with. If someone wants to see it, PM me but it’s staying off the forum.

Bruce Wayne, Last we spoke was December, is the bike not finished yet? I thought you had Sicom rotors on that thing. I ended up getting the xbob190/191 calipers and using the Z04 pads. The Braketech CMC rotors are IMO much closer to iron rotors than the Sicoms so the Sicoms are in a box. Hope to see the bike completed soon, looks epic

Yeah it was all together and did ride it but had another project that took a lot of my time and didn't get a chance to try the sicoms i stripped it down again Last week to fit swingarm and Motec will definitely test them one day

Where are you guys putting your res bottle?

we were looking at putting it right there where the new line runs.



good idea btw, we’ll get clearance of the old line around the frame with the fairings we are using, but I doubt we would if I ever want to put the Foggy livery fairings back on, so I’ll order the new tube/hose to have around

We were looking at the CF shroud that came with it today, gunna have to trim that because the forks hit it created a very short lock to lock steering

yeah I was thinking about it after I posted that, I wouldn’t post your bike in a forum either, as inspiring as it is to see the work and craftsmanship put into it there are a few personal choices that make the bike perfect for how you want to enjoy it that you’d have knuckleheads looking right past the craftsmanship and critiquing your choices, and it would be annoying to have something you put that much work into critiqued by an overly opinionated idiot lol

Haha, Steven, I must apologise again!

I have a very dry sense of humour :D

Tbf, not many people get it, or like it. Meh.

haha, you didn’t get mine either, must be in the genes, my 23 and me genetic test says I’m 93% British

I put ‘met’ in semi-quotation marks, because it’s a forum not a meetup

I said I never “met” an idiot from here lol

I met a few, but so far none have been idiots, but I don’t have a big enough data set to confirm none are idiots, some sure pretend to be if not haha
 
People are entitled to enjoy their motorcycle hobby any way they like, if they want to share it as Steven has so generously, then we all get something out of it.

Mine was trim to fit as well, took a few mount/demount cycles to get it trimmed just right.

Work or be around men who carry guns for a living. The amount of absolutely devastating scathing sarcasm won't be understood by those who don't. You could talk mad .... and fire jokes off but at the end of the day there's a respect.
