you must have been flying.

long story short,
takes right turn in first gear (there was a sharp left turn b4)
hits riple strip (tic tak things in the middle of road [yellow])
rear bounces up
left gets traction
then right and slingshots into wall
then bonced side on in to post & tree
didnt get to hit the brakes
speedo said 70kmh but the wheels were spining so it was off,
guessn bout 45>50kmh impact

so did the vlt come out with twin piston calipers aswell as the single piston finned calipers? if i was to fit the single piston finned calipers and fit the discs to suit from a vl v8 to replace the standard calipers would it be better off changing master cylinder to 1" bore and should i be putting on the bigger booster. i fitted the vt calipers to my brothers vl v8 and there was a very big difference compared to the standard v8 calipers which are also the vlt calipers.

Booster will be fine, definately change to the 1" master, and no as far as I'm aware it was all single piston calipers.

that is true, all came out in 1 piston, but we were talkn about the PBR twin spot vlt calipers. there aftermarket not factory and come colour coded in red blue and some other colours. normal vlt pads fit in to these calipers and work well
