[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 100678, member: 60"] In among the drivel one reads in bike papers was a nugget of interest about the new Brough Superior SS100. Yes I know what's the market for a £60K bike with a nod to a 1930 design? (and this from a country with a 50mph limit on single carriageways) Anyway tucked away in the specs was the front brake which is a 4 (yes 4) X230mm dia discs front on a cotton reel hub arranged on each end with 4 pot calipers, braking distances are not quoted on road tests nowadays, but the hack said they were "stupendously powerful " lets see 230mm is about 9 inches in real money OK I could live with 180 to keep the profile near the original 7" drum it said they were based on Aircraft brakes, not for use on Bramptons though methinks [/QUOTE]
