better brakes?

[george]

whats the best way of upgrading brakes (350 lc) i have been told possibly r6 calipers and plates to make them fit? where might i source some from?

[bryan]

lots of them have large bolt spacing, meaning you need big fu**off adapter plates.
I went with 40mm bolt spaced Brembo Gold Line from Aprillia RS250, also on Ducati 916, Monster ect, its the ones with the single middle pin
Got Mine for £45 on ebay and £20 for the plates.

[george]

ok so where do i get the adapter plates from? are they a standard thing or not?

[spondonchris]

NK racing makes a lot of adaptor brackets google it. Mine are from there for my Blade calipers, you still run stock discs too.

[scott]

yeah i've got some comin from nk racing m8.

Some Triumph calipers fit straight onto YPVS. Have seen an LC with them on too. Make sure the mounting holes are 85mm before buying.

I allways get my hangers made By Nigel from the above link . quolity work.
I have allso been toled Triumph caliper fitt i got a set from the bay and they didn't fit. i was told dytona so dont get them ones .

Be happy to take your old brakes off your hands if you find some new ones !!

[george]

i brought some r1 blue spot calipers last night off the bay i believe nk racing do an adapter for them, ye i will be selling the standard calipers when i have sorted these otheres

[skaterboy]

Just fitted R1 calipers with NK brackets £80 very very nice , mind you not alot of clearence between the inside of caliper and wheel. But look the nuts !!!!!!!!!!! will look fab as i get flipped over the handlebars ;-).

lol ;D

[george]

just ordered a set of plates to fit the r1 calipers should be able to actualy stop then!!

Or you will be able to lock your 90/90/18 front tire uncontrollably?
Big brakes on teeny tires can be 'exciting'.

[elsie1411]

just re-built mine 31k calipers, braided hoses and diversion master cylinder strange feeling as not as wooden as standard set up but looks kind of standard

exactly mick,why use brakes when u can stop just as quick slidin on the grass verge ;D

[kiwivini]

how do you know whether certain calipers will work with certain master cylinders? Or does it not matter.

[bernardo]

yes it does, certain m/cyl bore diameters will only work with certain calipers. No easy way to tell though.

[kiwivini]

OK thanks,

is this any popular conversions.

IE saw a set of fzr 400 calipers on ebay but the reservoir would be seperate type so probably not suitable.

I assume this is why people just stick to the ypvs calipers.

[george]

put on the r1 blue spot calipers today with the adapter plates from nk racing, massive massive improvement, but i see what you mean about there not being much of a gap between the caliper and the wheel .

[turbod]

Do you have a picture of the calipers fitted ?
How much did the brackets cost ?
