L model front dics diameter

Post by andyvanderpandy »

its hard to measure them while theyre on the bike y'know! does anyone know what diameter l model front discs are? my best guess is 310mm

with H models being 10mm smaller

also has anyone here tried puttin nissin 4 pots from a cbr600rr on zxr? i hear theyre better than the gsxr sets some people use.

is there any other way to tell from sight alone if a disc is L or H? is the carrier black only on the L, any markings etc?

apparently they need drilling out for 8mm to 10mm then they fit straight on with a washer or two. ive had enough of having to take me calipers of once a month and clean the pistons etc! ive spend no end on them and theyre still goose! :smt010
