Check out US Fleabay for SP1 (RC51) calipers - there are usually a few on there for not too much cash.

ive had a little look on ebay & have found a couple of cheap-ish sets of cbr600rr front calipers - same as the sp1 type.

item no: 180486953941 - they're in Spain but they're clean & the price aint bad.

& also item no: 250510980046 - these are in the US but again, they look clean.

im sure this will keep a couple of people happy.

I asked a mate what he could get hold of and he turned up a a pair Fireblade Nissin calipers and master cylinder/brake lever for me for £90. Obviously I still need the brackets from SES but I'm over the moon with the price.

i was going to use sp1 calipers but changed my mind and bunged on a set of nissan 4 pots of a slingshot using a tlr m/c with a rizoma pot a nice cheap conversion :grin:

Also what calipers are compatible with the SES brackets as there aren't too many CBR600RR/SP1 Nissin calipers come up on ebay for sensible money and I was wondering if VTR1000 Firestorm Nissins fit and what year Fireblade Nissin calipers go on as I've found a pair that look similar to the SP1 pair, only silver not gold.
I used the search option and I came across this thread and above post but I still have a question:
is there any difference in between the Silver calipers versus Gold calipers of the CBR fireblades? Or is it just the colour? Piston sizes similar... :?: (this upgrade is also on my to-do list :peace: )

Some of the silver calipers are for 310mm rotors... ask me how I know ;)

I sold them....unless you have RC30 discs then be wary. Think RRX or RRY blades had them

Thx mate! I have a contact and he offered me both the silver and also the gold calipers...he has a handfull of these caliper sets, all varies from VTR firestorm, SP1, fireblade SC33, 600RR PC37. Will probably go for the gold ones to be save. I do know where to get a set of HRC RC30 discs but those are too pricey.
