does anyone know of any other front brake calipers i can use on my 350ypvs LCll, the original ones are past their best.

thanks.

Depends on what forks you have... check the bolt spacing, if its 83mm then some Triumph calipers work, else FZR400, if its the earlier model then you need something else, but as I dont have those forks i cant say for sure.

whats up with your original set. I have a decent LC2 set if thats what you need.

I think he means an 83 year model and these doesn't have the 83 mm bolt spacing. I havn't seen any calipers that are a bolt-on fit for these forks.

Hi
Lc2 calipers have very narrow bolt spacings, the same as Lc's,and I have not heard of a modern replacement for the standard calipers. The later F2 forks had 83mm spacings, which matched up nicely with 4 pots from bikes like Tzr3ma, Fzr4003TJ, etc. My latest project LC had LC2 wheels fitted. A previous owner had made adapter plates to allow Rd500 calipers to be used with Lc forks;



The Rd500 calipers are virtually identical to later powervalve calipers except they have bigger pistons.These are 83mm spacings. These calipers would bolt straight on to F2 forks. With an adapter plate, you can make anything fit. Nk racing makes plates up for lots of different combinations, check out his website. My Lc2 has adapter plates with Fzr1000 4 pots fitted, but these are 100mm spacings. I would be happy to draw a template of my brackets for you if that's the route you want to take. Then all you would need is some ally plate and a friendly engineering firm. You could then use any 83mm spacing calipers you wanted.
