Re: NC30 brake upgrade
Was chatting with another forum member about something similar. I'm using blade braking system with EBC disks and HH pads and I prefer the feel of freshly bled standard items.
Try different disc pad combo

Re: NC30 brake upgrade
I’ve just got my bike to Sweden and now it has been registered here in Sweden.
Straight away I start looking at what should be changed to the better.
One of the eases parts for me would be the brakes. A good friend of mine works at ISR here in Sweden which makes really nice high performance motorcycle brakes. And I have some old parts from past bikes, laying around in the garage.
I have the 21-014 Radial master cylinder for Racing and some braided brake lines laying at home. I also think I have a adjustable clutch leaver at home.

Due to regulations in some racing classes in Sweden I will not be able to change fork on my bike. So my question is if there would be any interest on this forum to make a brake kit for the NC30 original fork and wheels?
The kit would include either 4-piston or 6-piston callipers and 2 new brake disks.
Just made a quick compilation on existing items and the 4-caliper kit would be around 1080 pounds and the 6-caliper kit 1660 pounds. The you have to add another 400 pound for the master cylinder. The kit would the include two callipers, two brake discs and brake pads. If we’re lucky also braided lines.
If we are some people that show interest the pricing would be reduced I hope.
Important here is that this would be a straight fit to original front fork. The material is aircraft aluminium 7075-T6 and one piece caliper!
The hub is made out of a solid piece of aluminum and CNC-machined to the right dimensions. The brake disc is made out of a forged steel bar that gives the brake disc superior durability compared to regular brake discs made out of sheet metal. The forged steel bar is then cut in discs and CNC-machined to achieve highest quality.
ISR have made brakes for motorcycles since 1970 in Sweden.
You guys think that there would be any interest for real performance brakes?
For example BMW new concept bike and award wining Harrier (third place in world championship for bike builders)

Re: NC30 brake upgrade
I currently have twin VTR1000 Brake Discs and Brake Calipers, pretty good IMO, braking power is beautiful!

Re: NC30 brake upgrade
A full ISR setup would be great, but at over 2k, sorry I'm out. Maybe a full build like a few people on here are doing, they might be interested, but the common rider, I don't think they'll have that spare.

Re: NC30 brake upgrade
Impressive bit of kit but too expensive for most people I'd say.
