Nice one Sam. I always thought the single front disc was enough to stop a Morini, you don't need the weight of twin discs. Anyone agree or disagree?

For even the most ambitious street riding, I absolutely agree. In racing, probably, but I'm not so sure. I'm going to be putting 2x cast iron rotors and Brembo F05 brakes. Overkill for sure, but this is one of those areas where overkill isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Under race conditions the standard single front disc set up is definately inadequate. Do whatever you can to improve them. Because the bikes are under powered, you'll be braking long after the last of the late brakers!

On the road I would think it's ok, but I've never ridden one on the road.
