off my zxr250 kawasaki, but from what i can tell they are the same... as the ones you guys show...

so like...

i won't be relisting them

*mwuahahahahaah**

**mmm gs650 that will stop YAYYYY**

I can personally vouch they use to stop my 250 real quick... as shown via attachment...

Ah, but that's where the fun stops! Kwackasaki uses a reverse threaded mirror, so you'll need an adapter to make the threads go back the other way...

noipe because the kawasaki sports bikes these come off have the mirrors mounted off the fairing

Put up some better pics... I can't see from that one but I think you have the right ones. As long as they are not the later opposed piston type should be fine.

And, I thought only Yammies used that reverse thread thing anyway...I have a KZ and can swap mirrors with everything else i have except the yammie.

Oi, get your mirrors out of my brake thread

[salty_monk]

Ooops This is your one...

Just took delivery of some spacers.... hopefully get some time to try mounting up those CBR rotors soon. How's yours going?

may have to get some braided lines while i am at it eh

Ive just bought a 99 yamaha r6 last night, so i fear my gs may be unloved for a wee while in its restoration.

I'm just bumping this one to the top since the spring brake threads are starting up again like clockwork.

For all you guys just joining the party this swap was first done back in 2006, (by me) and since then several others have made the switch as well. I have several thousands of miles on this mod, so I know it works. It's easy, it's relatively cheap and it's a huge improvement over the stock set up.

[salty_monk]

I also have several thousand miles across 2 bikes with this mod.

Is anybody selling the caliper mounting brackets or is there a template out there somewhere? I'd like to do the older/bigger rotor swap like was first done back in '06.

[salty_monk]

I probably have 1 set left I think. Send me a PM with an email address & we'll go from there.

This question comes up a fair bit... if you fit the CBR rotors with a spacer behind you must chop 3-5mm off the top of the speedo drive dust cover.

If you don't it will hit the speedo drive when you do up the axle bolt & jam the wheel... Ask me how I know this

This is the cover:





Very important to check all clearances when fitting the CBR Rotors. 1 of the bolt ends (threaded end sticking through caliper) is the closest point. Clearance is measured to the rotor rivets that join the spider to the rotor braking surface (there is one in the bottom left of the pic above).
