Hi Pash,

Looks nice could you put me down for one. Did a gsxr k4 calliper conversion with new arm on the x1 stops so much better, like the look of your's more 8-) so may fit mine to my m2 as that still has std thing on it. Do you recon the gsxr calliper will fit between swingarm as the brembo does ( I have several of these 84mm ) cheers

It's a 2 pot very similar to the brembo but slightly heavier and maybe 50% more pad area. Which brembo calliper fits mainly ducati and aprilia I'm guessing.

So, other than making the wheel a pain to get out/in and pads a nightmare to change, what are we achieving here :?

Remind me what you have on the rear of your S1w ;)

The top one uses the later Brembo with the side feed, making for a neater installation...

But in terms of the hidden one, aesthetics... How often does one need to change their pads?

Funny you should say that......I find myself changing more rear pads than front these days :?

......and yes, I have the top one ie. Brembo on a Metmachex carrier ......I just dont get the 'aesthetics' thing......the disc is still there, just looks like the caliper has fallen off :)

My XB feels like the calliper fell off but no, when I checked, same crap brake still there. Anything that gives more effect is good in my book.
