Zxr400 forks, 929 brakes problem.

Post by benny » Sun May 18, 2014 4:10 pm

I have a set off zxr400 forks on the way for my NC30 with 40 caliper adjusters. I had previously planned on using 929 blade brakes with the adjusters on my stock forks, hence I now have those adjusters, brakes, lines etc.
does anyone know where I can get an adjuster to fit them to the zxr forks or do I get some 40mm brembo a and sell the 929? (I'd prefer to just find another adapter)

do you mean caliper brakets? Im sure you could get some made up cheap, its only a block of metal drilled..

Just slighlty off-topic.

ZXR400 forks are no better than NC30 forks unless you have bought the expensive ZXR400SP forks (I have owned both bikes)

Is it just a cosmetic upgrade? it seems like a lot of money to spend on USD forks..
