Twinpot Brake upgrade on 78 Skunk

Hello guys!

Any recomendation about the ZXR pads?

I just received my calipers yesterday, they fit, I'm happy!
But - when I fitted them (first try), I centered the calipers on the disc and I measured a 7mm gap between the fork and the caliper mounting plate... So my question is:

Why do not make the adaptation plate to be able to fit it between the fork and the caliper (it would be a 7mm thick plate)? The result would be that no added part, just that plate... I used to see, on all the pictures, that that plate is not between the fork and the caliper mounting plate but on front of the fork.....

thanks!

Hello guys. Maybe someone has already posted a similar question in this topic... I am going to get the similar zx calipers for my bike. I want to find a nice set of street / performance pads... do you have a model that could fit or be great for my use or are the oem pads ok?

One back at you

These are the ones I am talking about & that's actually not too bad a price these days.... Cheaper ones do come up though.

I have a couple more boxes to check yet!

I'd rather move them as a whole package. Let me see if I have more than 1 set - possible!

Sounds good.

One more set gone today.

I have a handful left & one whole kit incl some 2006 Concourse Calipers (grey) & some of the 7 button lightest rotors that work for this mod.

Do you still have the rotors? If so, how much you want for them?

Yes you could shim it out... I may be able to find a shim of the correct thickness.

Well sh1t, that's not what I wanted to hear. Well back to Ebay I guess. Thanks for the quick reply Chuck78

I believe you must've gotten rotors off of an ABS model... non-ABS models are what we need. Sure you could shim it, but I'd opt for finding another rotor with that same directional pattern.

I just received a set of rotors that are supposed to be off 96 VFR 750. One is offset 17mm, the other is 14mm. Is this correct? I had assumed they would be the same. Can I shim them out to be equal? Thanks

Got my brackets yesterday - a day after my birthday, cool prezzie! thanks Dan. Cant wait to get them fitted, it will be some time over the next couple of months whilst I've got the bike off the road for a couple of other winter jobs! Will post some piccies soon!

Right, about 4mm I think. I am slowly gathering things for this mod. thanks for the confirmation Salty. I will be contacting you soon about brackets if you have any left.
