Title: Nippons or Peregrine FSX 111
Post by: darkslider on March 26, 2010, 11:52 PM: Which would be your choice of the above? How much are a decent set? And lastly what era are they? Wanting them for an 84 bike!

from a quick search it looks like they were stock on a 1988 bike so maybe a bit late for yours
Nippons maybe more era correct ... i've bought sets from £40-100 .. they tend to go higher than that on ebay though

Post by: Del on March 29, 2010, 09:28 PM: yum I have a set of white FSX111's on my peregrine and a NOS black set waiting to go on another Peregrine If i ever sort it out... lovely brakes but wrong era for a 84 build.. even nippons are too late... FS880 is prob your best bet for an 84 build although most of my 880's seem to be stamped 85, I'm sure I have seen 84 stamped ones though.

Post by: Del on March 30, 2010, 09:14 PM: Matt, just get hold of any 880, strip it and send the arms to paul at custom colour to annodise in blue.... that's what I did ;) good job and a bargain!
