Can somebody please enlighten me as to what I will require to do this?
Will the GSXR master cylinder fit the handlebars/lever - or will I need a ZX7R master cylinder?
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers

GSXR M/C will fit. If you can actually bleed brakes properly you probably won't need it though

I can bleed properly. The garage myn went to confirmed this. lol
Just the calipers seem to be wankered that I have atm.
So the ZXR lever will fit the GSXR M/C, or will I need to use the GSXR lever?
Cheers

i'm fairly sure the ZXR lever will fit, but don't hold me to that... I know it fits the GSXR1000 K1 M/C

OH......MY.....FUCKING.....GOD!
THESE BRAKES ARE ABSOULTELY FUCKING AWESOME.
I will encourage anybody to bin there shitty brakes, and upgrade too some of these babies!
***************************************************************************
I would also like to Publically thank DaveW for sending me a set of his discs to eliminate my discs from my braking problems!
The guy is a gent! Gave me advice over the phone/in pm, and let me borrow some discs for just the price of postage
DaveW - Thank-You! Its people like you that make small communities like this great
***************************************************************************
These K2 brakes are awesome. I had the back end up a few times this morning, and I am actually beating the bigger bikes on the brakes now that I have confidence in them
Everybody needs to upgrade - NOW! lol

The pistons in the calipers are about 2x larger each, and they stand the bike on its nose, unlike my freshly rebuilt ZXR400 calipers.
Seriously, these are a must for all ZXR owners!
Also, I am using the same M/C as original, which I rebuilt before rebuilding the original calipers!

Changing pads shortly, so will be doing a picture guide for this shizz
