i have to say the blue spots are a major increase in braking feel & stoping power & can,t believe how i got on with the old brakes.i must be a just ride it sort of bloke.Have yet to fit my braided lines.what you hav,nt got you do,nt miss.

nobody has mentioned the problem of fade with the Sumis which i found noticeable with prolonged hard use. Apart from that i never honestly found them that deficient on the road until i changed to blues - what a revelation, braided lines were another huge improvement and then with new pads- awesome. Next step will be R6/R1 master cylinder.

There's 2 pairs of 6 pot calipers on fleeBay,
They're what i believe to be OEM Sumitomos painted like Brembo's
To fool the unaware???
Or real Brembo?
