Radial Brakes

rivnrev · 07-22-2010, 05:18 AM

Has anyone tried to fit Brembo monoblock calipers onto GSXR forks. I'm looking to fit 05 gsxr 750 forks on the tl, and I'm thinking that I want to upgrade the brakes while I'm at it. As far as I've found there are 100mm spacings, and 108mm spacings. Since I have not got my forks yet can anyone tell me what the spacing is between the mounting bolt centres?

Most of the Japanese bikes take the 108mm spacing. European bike like ducati take the 100mm spacing.

Watch out for the snowball effect. On one of my bikes. I started with a radial GSXR front end. Then Brembo calipers, then Brembo master,then Ohlins forks, Yoshi triples, then Galespeed rims...... Once I started, I realised the rest of the oem parts just looked out of place with the flash stuff. Looks great but f**k did I spend some $$$$$$$$$!
