I don't think so...
Are they the same than SP1's ??

You'll need a mounting kit. Rick Oliver sells some ;)

I quote : "Brake caliper mounting kits - NC30 forks/SP1(CBR600RR/Fireblade) calipers"

Damn been answered.

I can't recall but are the SP2 calipers different to the SP1?

Either way you'll need brackets making up. If they are the same mounting as the SP1 then

Fortuantly the SP1 CBR600RR calipers have adapters made up for them by Mr Rick O.

They just move the caliper to the point where it can be mounted ;)

You can use your standard disc.

SP1 and SP2 calipers are the same, and same fitment as 2003-4 cbr600rr.

I recently got some caliper adapters from Rick O, very impressed with the machining quality as usual.

There is also a possibility to fit Brembo's 65mm calipers on the NC30 (using alloy brackets).

If interested, I do have a complete Brembo set that will be for sale soon.

maybe worth noting, if you cahneg the calipers to sp1/fireblade calipers with the rick oliver brackets your existing brake hoses wont be long enough.
