I have to say the front brake on the R takes a lot of work to use when compared to the Z but the disks and calipers appear to be the same.

I have considered doing that OGR; at some point I plan to unbolt one of the calipers, wedge some timber between the pads and hook the removed calliper out of the way. By doing this I should be able to judge whether the one remaining caliper is powerful enough on it's own, without having to break into the standard hydraulic system
