that is something I don't know. I fitted the CBR6 brakes to my NC30 but this meant I had to change the braided lines as the caliper end banjo angle is different. I alos had to change m/c to a fireblade unit as the std NC30 m/c was just not working as well as it needed to. It was too soft and squidgy with enormous power. I needed some modulation.

If the NC35 m/c is the same then I would suggest getting a blade/sp1/cbr6rr one..but as they all use a similar type of later generation caliper you might be alright.

I would be asking someone with an RVF that has done the swap

Yep, NC30 M/C is the same as the NC35.

I swapped the track bike for a fireblade one (with CBR600RR calipers) and the brakes on that are *ace*.

iv fitted a set of cbr600rr calipers m/s and braided lines today and am waiting to try them out 2moro im hoping they will be good, well compaired to my old completely stock setup they better be

on little question, as miney came already attached to lines with the fluid in i couldnt run the lines behind the throttle cables, and they currently rest on them, iv got some the rubber part to a p clip on the lines at that points so they shouldnt damage eachother, is this ok?

I'd personally sort it so that they sit correctly otherwise it may catch or fowl somewhere.

I'd take the throttle tube off and do it that way.

Have you not replace the fluid they came with? It'd be the wise thing to do, plus you can take the lines off then.

As druid said, take the time to get them routed properly, even if it does mean cracking the lines off.

Stopping is very important ^_^

So is not fowling steering :)

Plus, if you get it right from the offset you'll have less problems further on

have to agree. Even though the std braks on an NC30 are pretty hardcore...the uprated brakes are mental.

get yours bled and fettled Spike miladdo..will be even better.

btw - what pads you using?

err the ones that came in them :) but il get some nissin oem ones when they need changing

one thing i have noticed but dont know if its right or not, when going slowly and applying the brakes you can almost hear them engaging, and smooth scraping type sound (although it may just be me)

and i had to space some of the bolts out that hold the adapters to the bike as they stuck out and were locking the disk (first time i tried to ride off in the garage i ended up doing a little burnout, pissed my dad off a treat ;) )
