Only ones that bolts straight on are the Harrison Billet 4 pots made for LC and 31k, they are over £500 the pair though! I got mounting plates and Brembo Goldline 4 pots from Aprilia RS250 for £60 on mine, also on 916, Monster ect from the 90s.

Slightly off topic but id imagine these upgrades easily overwhelm the standard forks and skinny front tyre, for the performance of the chassis, my set up (with braided lines) seem pretty much spot on.

Don't fit those anti rattle plates to mine. They don't rattle, despite that. Perhaps some of the rubbery goop anti squeel sold for the rear of Pads on Car calipers as a rattle elminator?

NK sell the adapter brackets - £85.00 the pair when I bought mine. Plus a pair of R1/R6 calipers are approx. £60.00 +, so you are looking at least £150.00 for R1/R6 brakes. Just depends on if you really want better braking. If it's just the noise of the front calipers that is the issue, put a wanted ad out for the shims and keep an eye on ebay.

I have a CAD file for the caliper brackets if you know anyone with a laser / waterjet cutter which will mount blue spots to LC forks.

I've just read your post with interest! Sorry for being cheeky but I would love to get hold of a copy of your CAD file as I want to upgrade the front stoppers on my '81 RD. I have access the required machinery and have a good mate who could run them up for me. If you would be kind enough to share your file I can pm you my email address. Many thanks in anticipation! Colin.
