Hi Roy,
I was just wondering if the brake disc fits the newer KLE models from 2005 onwards. It is supposed to be for the old ones. Have you fitted yours already? Did the brake power improve? Thanks, Frank

I'm quite sure the disk fits the newer model KLE too.
I have replaced the brake lines for HEL steel braided and also replaced the pads and the braking improved a bit. It is not shit hot but better than before. What actually helps a lot is to learn how to use a bit more of rear brake. I started giving it more pressure and combined with the engine braking and downshifting my braking distance was reduced by almost 3 mts stopping from 80Kmh. Will

Hi Frank,
The discs listed on Motorcycle Parts and Accessories, United Kingdom and Worldwide, Motorcycle Road and Race Ltd will fit on the later model KLE also. Ive checked with EBC and Goodridge and for my 2006 KLE the part numbers are the same. All my parts have arrived and Im just waiting for my next days off to fit them. Hope this helps Roy

Just to let you know, Ive fitted the disc and HH pads now.
EBC Prolight front disc part number is MD6093D EBC HH Sintered front pads is FA129HH These may not be listed for newer KLE models but fit my 2006 fine. Ive only had a little run out round the block before it started chucking it down so Im unable to give you a report on any improvement at the moment. Im just waiting on the braided brake lines to finish it off, but Im sure this should offer a better feel from standard. Roy

I got out this morning for a couple of hours to bed the new brakes in.
They do feel more progressive and the initial bite seems stronger. Im sure when I add the new brake lines this will improve them still. A massive difference??.... No, but they are better. When I took my old pads out at 4750miles, they still looked very good and would have lasted until the 8000mile service. The original disc was perfect. I would recomend the upgrade, but dont expect a massive gain. All in all...... £34.98 Goodridge Braided brake hoses £41.14 Front EBC proLight disc £18.54 EBC front HH brake pads Hope this helps. Roy
