Re: Help with rvf calipers
929 is CBR900 from 200-1. 954 is the same basic caliper 2002-3.doodleface wrote:It's only the sp1 not the sp2 correct?
929 what model/make/year? And why 5/8 what's wrong with original mc?
Is it worth it but, two fingers on the the track is enough to have me sitting on the tank! I guess I just want modern shit that isn't all gunked and fucked.
I heard 03-04 cbr600rr calipers also fit? T/F?
The 14mm master is a bit too small, will give over-long lever travel.

Re: Help with rvf calipers
Hi guys, got sp1 calipers on mine, they hurt my nuts on braking, recommended, perhaps cheaper than buying 8 new pistons? Bolt straight on.

Re: Help with rvf calipers
Hey Racing T! Do you have the original master cylinder?
Nice to know, I found the stock calipers could also do the same thing, my first race here on the RVF when i braked hard I ended up sitting on the tank, couldn't stop laughing mid race! Hadn't even ridden it before the race day, highly impressed!
Only reason i'm finding out is cause as parts get more scarce its often cheaper to buy later stuff, so this is good to know! Cheers bud!

Re: Help with rvf calipers
Hi Doodleface, yes, the levers and reservoir are all stock.
Actually the standard calipers in good nick are really effective - I agree. The SP1's are very good also, but binded slightly over winter - cleaning up then lots of use has freed them up really well.
i just don't think spending lots of money on stock calipers is wise when SP1 calipers go pretty cheaply. And in gold they look great...
