Dr. Ergal Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Here I am with my modification at braking system. It is all started by a present received by a friend of mine... Of course, it is impossible to install this kind of calipers onto stock forks, so I decided to replace'em with a couple of CBR600F unit (opportunely revised...) Work in porgress... original braking system, at its right place (out of the bike ) Replaced also the pump with the one installed onto my old CBR929... And the final result is... General view Front fender comes from an Aprilia RS125; the right ones is coming by express courier (praying for a soon expedition :icon_pray: ) and this is the view of cockpit; over the seat I cannot see the first 3000 RPM of the clock, but this is not a problem And... how does it work? :icon_think: Fine, really fine: the braking power is a load more than the original and the feeling at lever is extraordinary; simply skimming over the lever I can get an immediate and strong response, maybe TOO MUCH strong, if I exaggerate :icon_think: And finally, I can exclude the rear brake (I've been running for ten years in circuit: it is difficult for me think to use the rear one) and have all the control in my right hand ! Yes, I am satisfied Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VFR Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Nice job there. I have an Aprilia Mille with Brembos on it. They are definitely superior to the brakes on the VFR & XX. I have a spare set or two of calipers & was thinking of trying to install them on one. I'm told that changing to stainless braided lines makes a dramatic improvement, but it's also a $400 hit to do that. Looks like changing to the Brembos isn't cheap either.

runner Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Good job! I wonder what's the best straightforward way to improve / changeover the existing system? I have seen some links...but they all appear custom...like yours. A bolt-on kit would be optimal...again, great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Ergal Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 A bolt-on kit would be optimal...again, great job! You're right, but seems that a bolt-on solution does not still exist . The CBR600F forks are bolt-on regarding steel plates and wheel axle; the problem is about disks diameter, else it should be a fantastic solution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
