Brake upgrade NC30 on race bike.

Post by jacknell » Wed Dec 09, 2009 8:11 pm

Wondering if i can get you valued expereance and opinions......

looking to further ungrade my front brakes on my race bikes. At the present one bike has standard calipers/ hell hoses/ pads not sure/ and braking wavy discs.

The other {wet bike] has standard calipers/ standard discs / hell hoses/ again pads not sure.

What i would like to Know is will changing the calipers to cbr600 calipers with a Rick oliver conversion plates make a further differance and if so what is the best pads to use .

Also Is there any differance to cbr600rr4 and cbr600f {2000 year} calipers.

CR600rr (2003-2004), CBR600 F4i (most years?) and VTR SP1/2 all use the same front caliper.

They will improve performance, mainly (in my opinion) because they're newer and components are unlikely to have worn as much as most nc30 caliper parts.

You're probably better off using the standard sized master cylinder with these calipers, anything else could upset lever feel/brake performance.
