    By the way, I was not being serious. You would have to wrap the cardboard in tinfoil just in case it rained.

    Never thought of the risk to the disk. Would not want to be responsible for that sort of damage.

    If you can find where the brake line splits into two from the master cylinder and block off/disconnect the duff caliper completely it would be ok. If I was stuck by the side of the road I might even try clamping the piston inside the caliper but don΄t ride it without a pad in or something to stop the piston moving.
    I love the smell of twin V16's in the morning..

    Right, problem solved, I have jammed a thin piece of wood between the calliper and the disk and now it runs no sweat!

    How very 'Burt Munro' of you.

    I think your biggest mistake in all this was solicting advice/opinion
