[luke4130]

Does anyone know what bike i can source a set of six pots from that'll be a straight bolt on for 750J front end?

Cheers,

Luke.

Caliper Swaps

It's been noticed recently that a lot of people want to know what calipers are a straight swap to upgrade their bikes with no problems, and without having to go to the effort of making up a set of adapter plates.

So if your bike is listed in the same section as another bike below, you can change calipers without any worries.

For ease I shall just call the calipers type 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

That's odd. Discs on the earlier GSXR's (mine's a 92 GSXR1100L) have a dish in the disc carrier but busa's and TL's etc have a flat carrier so i would have thought the calipers would be different too.
Maybe all you need is a set of discs and calipers and it's all good.
Luke, think about a master cylinder too mate, i;m not sure a four pot M/C will operate six pot calipers very well.

Hi chaps the dish in the carrier has bugger all to do with it. I have a set of tokico sixpots on my gsxr1100L (dished carriers) and with the original master cylinder that operated the four pots before and i have no problems at all. It works

[03gixxerpilot]

there are several things to take into account, width of the hub, of set of the disks ( ie dished ) distance between forks, design of calipers and mountings to start with, if it fits and works who cares, just do it

[luke4130]

Thanks Alfie! I knew of that page what it still doesn't say what has six pots and what doesn't so i'm still confused. If i change the brakes over i'll be sure to make sure to use the master cyl from the same brakes or one with the same oiston ratio.

Busa & srad are 6 spot type 1

and the tlr

Thanks, i'll start shopping around.

only the 750 SRAD the 600 has 4 pots:)

also 94 GSXR750w and onwards have 6 spots. if you check the m/c it will have a size cast into it. it could be 5/8 or 14mm or 16mm or 11/16 or what ever. if you have 4 spots and a 14mm m/c suits them, you should be able to see what size m/c is fitted with the six spots and match it up to see if your m/c will work or not.
