Problem with 2001 R1 Calipers on 1986 VMax Hello Members and Visitors, Based on what I've been reading I bought a set of 2001 R1 calipers (blue dot) on eBay for $140. My understanding was that they would be a simple bolt on swap for my 1986 VMax. Much to my surprise, they're not. The span...

Thinking about upgrading the brakes. I've got an 05. What year r1 calipers will fit, and does it require different pads than stock? Any other helpful info would be appreciated as well.

I bought one from Fleabay in early February, and just now got around to testing the damn thing. Of course, it is no good, so I am in need of a replacement. Rather than roll the dice with Ebay again, I'm wondering if anyone around here has one that is confirmed functional. Alternately, are...

Just bought some R1 COPs off eBay. Think they are 2004 or 2005. Have read all the posts I could find about this mod but am wondering if anyone has installed these specific COPs on their Max. Has anyone posted instructions for these? Couldn't find any. If you have installed these, are there any...

I have installed the gold dot R1 calipers with the Galfer SS 3-lines. The lines to me appear far too long and I even tried to criss cross them. Take a look and im up for any suggestions. Should I just pull the two lower lines and send them back to Galfer to shorten them properly? Thanks for...

I am getting a quote from a very large local distributor for Shindengen FA012AA R/R's I know nothing at this point as far as how much or qty needed to order. Shindengen is the manufacturer of the part for Yamaha. This may be a brick wall, or it may be a cheap source, I don't know at this...

Hi everyone I'm thinking about upgrading my front brakes over the winter and I'd like to start keeping an eye open for the parts I need. Here are some things I've gathered from various discussions, and I want to make sure that they are accurate: 1. Busa calipers seem to be the way to go. I...

Got my Watsen's today and I have to say these things are a work of art. The workmanship is top notch. Powder Coating looks amazing and the color match is great. :eusa_dance: Pics and video do not begin to demonstrate how bright they are. :punk:
