Hello everyone,
is there anyone know the difference between the L and H front calipers?
i have an H mdel but have upgraded the front discs using PFM cast-iron which is meant to use for L model. The problem i have now is that the caliper cannot reach the mounting points on the forks. is it possible to use the L model calipers and get it fitted perfectly?
cheers guys.

nah, you wont be able to use the standard calipers with them, unless you had some adapters made up.
There nice discs. if i was you i would look for some gsxr 6 pot calipers. they have the right pitch to use L model discs on yr H model if ya get me?

cool mate, that is a proper good news...
does that mean any tokico or nissin 6 pot calipers will fit straight to zxr400h without any modification needed?
if that is right, that is wicked! im gonna do that.
finally im gonna get the bike running after a year mate.
cheers.

well, you have to sleeve the bolts to make the calipers fit, but we can fit L discs on our H2sp forks and the H1 forks with the k1 calipers..

not any tockico calipers, the mounts have to be the right spacing. Although you could get mounts made up to fit anything i suppose.
