Hi all
I want to fit some different calipers to the front end of a 400 H1, I have read all the threads about the 6 pots being a bit pony so don't want to fit them. Can anyone tell me which other calipers will fit onto my forks, and what mods I'll need to make them work.

Re: Brake calipers for H1
I think they're standard 62mm between centres. I'm not sure what size discs as I don't have any on there (I'm building up the front end of a ZXR400 H1 to go on a Zephyr 550), I read a thread on here that said the H1 has 300mm discs (which are the same as the Zephyr), but if you swap to normal 310mm discs you can use other calipers

H models have 300mm discs, 310's will "just" rub the caliper body.. the 6 pots will allow you to fit the 310mm discs, not sure about the k1 4pots.. but probably

Cool, I think I'll get a pair of k1 4 pots then, I can try them with the pair of 300mm zephyr discs I have, if the discs are too small for the calipers I'll get the bigger ones.
I understand the L's use a 310mm discs, does anyone know if these are a straight fit on the H1?

No, I don't have any calipers at the moment.
Identical but bigger does make sense, thank you, at least I now have more choice of discs

Re: Brake calipers for H1
if you dont have any calipers, you could get direct fit, the calipers origionally fitted to h1 are still fitted to bikes today. zzr600/1100/1200 and several others. They are on ebay cheap too. Brand new are only £200 a pair with pads
