They are 100mm spacing on the mounting bolts

Re: Will These Fit?

Re: Will These Fit?
there are plenty of posts on here about gsxr 600 4-pots, the general consensus is to not go for gsxr 1000 6-pots (BTW you will need to search around the forum to find the correct models/years) at least not with the stock zxr 400 master cylinder up front.
if you do go for gsxr calipers i think you need sleeves made up as the mounting bolts are wider than the zxr ones?? again browse here, its all been asked before. Ebay also sells the spacers for the gsxr conversion...but after rebuilding my own calipers, new lines and new master cylinder internals my bike (after extensive bleeding) loves stoppies...i dont think better brakes will really accomplish that much, unless its solely a track bike.
if you are intent on fitting radial brakes you will need, new forks with appropriate mounting points, possibly new headstock, probably some spacers making up for the front wheel/new front wheel...seems slightly pointless for a total saving of ~1kg to me

Re: Will These Fit?
basically looking to move off tockico to either brembo or nissin. brembo beign my first choice really and i read on here that i might be able to find an itallian bike that might have starigh bolt ons, just wondering if anyone knew which one. If not ill go for the cbr 600 nissins, they bolt straight on. I already have a K3 master cylinider, resivoir and calipers but the bike wasnt n great nic when i got it and yea as i said i dont like tockico.

Re: Will These Fit?
you would need to look at later italian models i would have thought for the similar fitting,
on the subject we have a testing machine at work with a brembo brake caliper on it, had my eye on it for years lol

Re: Will These Fit?
Calipers that I found fit are
SRAD/GSXR 600/750
SV650 (1000 too I think)
You can maybe find Brembo calipers for those models to fit
Not sure about other models, but the H and L 400's use a different pad with a slight variation to the caliper, the caliper itself will fit all 400's, just beware of the different pads
