GSXR600 Calipers

Post by MillaMeter »

Hi,

I've just bought yet another set of calipers to fix all my front end braking problems :smt012

They're from a GSXR600 K8 4 pot black Tokicos. I fitted and only managed to bleed 1 side due to running out of brake fluid :wanker Anyway took the bike around the block a few times and went to test the front brakes and almost went butt over tit compared to them crappy gold 6pots. So if anyone is interested in my gold 6pot Tokicos, let me know now before I throw them on Egay!

Check em out, they look quite gravy if you ask me.

What'da think?

As your 6 pots are that bad - I'll take them off your hands for £20 :smt003

They look the dogs them mate :D

Especially with the blue banjoed braided hoses :D
If it's broke spray it with WD40, if it's still broke spray it again and leave it over night, if it's still broke, bin it.

they look really nice, did you have to mod them at all to get them to fit?or do they just bolt straight on?

Hi,

Pretty much a straight swap apart from having to make spaces up to fill in the 10mm gap in the caliper mount holes. All I did was buy some 10mm tubing with a 8mm center, cut them into 4 little chunks and stuck them in the fork legs job done!

Hi,

Indeed I am, although it could do with a rebuild at some point.
