Re: ZXR400 6pot Tokico upgrade.

Post by MillaMeter »

Hi,

I'm really thinking of upgrading my front calipers after seeing those awesome Tokicos... besides, my calipers are shot.

Problem is I can't seem to find the ZRX400 6 pots anywhere. Is there any other calipers out there that will just bolt straight on?

Regards

Rich

These all have 62mm spacing, but can't confirm which will need modded to make fit.

Can't sell you my ones as i have a new project for them biggrin

But can source you another set - if i get you the ZRX400 set you should be fine with your standard master cylinder as it was a 5/8th on mine originally. I upgraded mine to a 19mm Nissin radial which made a huge difference to the feel - my brother has just been over visiting and his comment was " F*k, that's got brakes!"

This is going to be my project bike:

If your ZRX is anything to go by, this should prove interesting :)
