Nice
Might just be shit pads? Could try new pads and then go from there. Pistons are much anyway after.
First thing I did was take out whatever no name shit was in the superduke and put some oem Brembo in, night and day.

When recommissioning the calipers I noticed the pads are sintered so that's something, haven't given them a fistful yet though.
@Jung the long term plan is to replace the front end, including calipers so weighing up how much I want to pour into these 6 pots. If I don't have to buy another set of braided lines when fitting new forks then might go that route with a seal kit. Also agreed, will be getting some gsxr 1000 k4 Ti headers and yoshi, has to be done.

Just cross posting from here.
Couldn't resist it, had to go for a ride. Not just any ride, but my first ever on the bike. A few thoughts...
1) It's quick for an old girl. Took it easy on 15 year old tyres but it really pulls past 7k. Only had the nerve to take it to 10k for a nervous shakedown after all the work done but very happy
2) It's light. Feels nimble and much more responsive than my newer RSV. Really impressed and so much fun on these Bedfordshire b roads
3) The brakes are more of a concept than a practical way of stopping. Just what I imagined 6 pots would be like so will think about rebuilding vs replacing
Overall though very pleased with the first test ride and looking forward to many more
