I practice emergency breaking and skills all the time, and for the first time I out-rode my breaks (Under controlled conditions of cours). I was in the triple didgets and did a hard break, by the time I was down to 40 the lever sunk to the bar. The breaks were not already super hot or being heavily used prior to the practice, just normal riding. So I would be interested in an upgrade, being the SS lines as well as a bigger caliper/master cylinder set up. So here I sit, waiting with the rest of them

Looking forward to seeing it too.
This is one thing I did not think about when I changed my front rotor to a floating 320mm Now if I want to change caliper I need a custom mount made |

Last time I had a friend, a well experienced rider, doing a little testride with my Ninja and he'd like my Brembo caliper. The only thing he didn't like that much was the geometry of my bike, since the front is 16mm lower with the rear 10mm higher and also my clip ons 50mm deeper then stock. |

Sorry for the absence.. I had a chance to test out my brakes this weekend at the track.. And i could be happier.. The last time I was so scared using my brakes.. This time though I was able to Slam my brakes without the fear of locking. Ill be putting up pics and videos on my track day thread. :-) I just wanna give a BIG THANK YOU to old3(jim).had it not been for his diy skills I would have never thought of upgrading the caliper for this cheap :-D. 24 dollars for the caliper and 20 for the pads.. One bottle of oil and a lot of elbow grease and I have epic braking..
Pics of the New adapter being made.. |

@ Mania, I'm thinking of getting that 320mm rotor and doing another custom bracket too, so the SV part won't work me either. I'll shed a tear every time I see a 250/300 with a stock brake caliper. The 4/6 pistons are just so much better braking parts and feel excellent.
@ Shadewalker, still stock master, right? 4 pot Tokico? |

I'd be interested in your review of it with the stock master if you get a chance to try it that way.
I'm still waiting for my old cal bracket to come back to me, and my streets are all ice and snow covered till later this week anyway. I'm looking forward to trying the 5/8" conventional master which is designed to push a total of 4 pistons on the Ninja 650. It is pretty big compared to the 1/2" stocker, over 3mm bigger. Hoping that isn't too big for my calipers as the stocker did very well IMO. |

OK, here is part of the email I just got from Blair, he is looking for a donor nissin 4 piston caliper to use in building the Nissin brake caliper brackets...
quote, "I need a Nissin 4 Piston Calipers from the Honda CBR600 F4 - F4i All Model Years 1999 to 2006, the CBR 929 – CBR 954 Model Years 2000 – 2003, or the CBR 600RR Model Years 2003 -2004 or the Honda RC-51 years 2001 and up I will give the Brake Caliper Bracket set to the Nissin Donor for Shipping Costs only for the use the caliper to do up the Brackets, The Tokico you sent me is in development now. Whoever has the Nissin Caliper can Email me at b.layton@svracingparts.com now and I will set it up with them," end quote So, I was expecting a preorder link, but maybe later today? As soon as I get that you can start to pre order anyways... so, anyone have the Nissin caliper already? Thanks guys! |

Like I said, if you have some time and can try the stock master I'd like to hear your thoughts on it. I'm thinking once these brackets are shipped there will be many who can review that combo and a few others too. All good info to have on hand. |

Oh, don't go to any trouble. I bleed mine all the time so it is a usual task. No big deal in my garage. Leave it if you have it all good and you like it. It was just for conversation.

Can you confirm that he doesn't have one yet? I not I will go ahead and do that - buy one on ebay and have it shipped to him.

Reading this thread has really got me wanting to change my caliper too.
Especially with the big 320mm float disc. The stock caliper looks really tiny & disproportionate now Jim I was curious....Do you think a radial mount adapter makes any difference or do you think it would not have any more benefit than conventional since it is not truly a radial mount since it ultimately uses the conventional mount at the fork leg anyway? This is the picture that got me thinking |

I'd say the rigidity of the radial is lost thru the bracket to adapt it. The thing that might be better is the build/rigidty and power of the newer premium calipers... I can't say if you would actually feel it.
The 4 and 6 pot Tokicos are already so much better than the 2 piston sliding pin stockers it might be hard to really get much more than a fraction of a percent better than them. Either just blow the stockers away. I can't wait to get my bracket back to test the Ninja 650 master. I'm thinking that will be pretty good for a cobbled together system. |

I was kind of thinking the same because ultimately the adapter is mounted conventional anyway so any torsional strength benefit would be questionable. Also this is not a very big heavy bike & fork legs a bit spindly Would love to see a 41mm usd on one. |

Dont know of this was mentioned or posted before but...
Look at page 2 test 4 Interesting what the say about a 6 pot vs a 4 pot caliper seems logical |
