A Gas Gas "Padiator" prototype from Siccass?
http://sicassracing.com/store/produc...padiator_honda
I was roaming through the sicass products page looking for a GG version of the Padiator rear brake cooler. I emailed to ask if the Honda version would fit the GG. I was told no. However... Quote:

Run a solid rear disk and Motorcraft Super Duty brake fluid and you won't have any issues.

I thought the advantage of a solid rear disk is greater pad life in muddy/sandy conditions - and the trade off is hotter running temps...
Here is a really good description of the mechanics of a solid rotor working well when the mud is extremely abrasive http://velonews.competitor.com/2013/...ditions_272308 jeff

Thanks for sharing the link. Great information... You being in Oregon, do you run the solid rotor? Stu

The solid rotor pulls heat away from the pads.

On some of the bikes that friends have run hard up here in the rocks to the point of boiling the rear fluid and loosing brakes till you bleed it out a simple cheap fix.. Go to radio shack, maybe online as less of them actually have real parts in stock. get a 1"x1" alum heat sink, these are fins about 1/2-3/4" tall? PC7 epoxy or somekind of epoxy it to the back of the brake caliper, so it points(fins) up to the rider, not out and fins flowing direction of wheel travel. Plenty of heat is transmitted through this and keeps it much cooler, all for like $10-12 bucks.. If something hits it it will break off.
