Medic this was very helpful. If you don’t mind what did this cost assuming you did the work yourself and where you got the parts?

I'm not sure what Sean is selling his kits for, I got mine second hand from Captain Kyle. I would guess that Sean is somewhere in the $400 range for the kits, but you'd have to contact him for that. Keep in mind you will also need the later Gen1 Vmax rotors (93+) and I would strongly recommend the braided steel hoses also available from Sean. Those go for about 120 bucks.

It is not a cheap upgrade, but it is very much worth every penny. Trust me.

BTW, I believe Sean also has the R1 4 pot upgrade available as well. But, if you're going down this path, why not go for the gusto?

I recently sold a 90 with the blue dot two pot calipers. Braking was good, but not really noticeably better than with the original single pot units.

The Hayabusa units are in another class. Trust me. (Wait wait, didn't I already say that..?)

Thanks desert_max!! $400 for the calipers and mounting hardware is not too bad. I did install steel braided lines already which helped a lot.

I hope to have some more kits available soon . It has just not been top priority lately since I am still trying to get caught up on customer work.

Thanks max all the info it has been very helpful. If I’m going to really upgrade i think I’ll spend a little time looking at as many options as I can find. I have tolerated these original “brakes” , for our English teacher, for 30 years and I guess I can a while longer to make the I make the right decision. Thanks for your help. The nam is Bill
