The brakes that from the h model are better the l

at least in my opinion, bigger pistons, bigger pads, better stopping power.

Anyone else agree? Disagree?

Seem common on ebay, just wondered why everyone was opting for 6 pot and calipers from suzukis when stock calipers work well from the earlier bike.

I reckon cos most of the h calipers around look well manky. They are quite good tho if looked after. I only changed mine cos they needed new pistons, and could buy gsxr brakes cheaper.

tried everything with them 6 pots mate.
3 zxr mc, r1 mc, gsxr radial mc. performance friction pads, ebc's best offering. always fresh fluid...
there good, Just not good enough to be able to really late brake. I think its that last smaller piston on them that causes the problem. I think that robs them of there power.
who knows, i gave up on them

might be talking about different calipers then. The GSXR1000 K1-K2 calipers use all the same sized pistions. There different to the ones on the ZX6r/ZX7r TLR ect what are completly crap and worthluss
