Hi looking for an upgrade for the front brakes on my zxr 400 race bike . Few folk mentioned Gsxr600 k1 calipers but u need spacers . Does any 1 have sussegetion s ?? And also if need bracet s where can I get them
Thanks phill

Thought of fireblade calipers? General consensus is the six pots aren't worth the hassle 4 pot nissins might be better

Hi, the gsxr600 k1 4 pots work really well, to fit them you do need spacers. these spacers do 2 things, they sleeve the caliper mounting on the fork leg as the gsxr runs narrower bolts and the lip on the back leaves a the caliper sat away from the back of the leg slightly, this centers the caliper over the disc. As the spacers push in from the rear of the leg I always put a smear of araldite on them when i first fit them, this stops them trying to escape when rushing to throw wets in.

The same applies to the blade calipers.

Good luck.

Dont get 6-pots, they are spongy as f***.

4-pot fireblade nissins are the ones to get.
