Title: alternative discs, floating? Post by Jon Pearson(Guest) on 22.07.04 at 05:34:00
thanks for my last questions, a new one, I want to know if anyone has used differant brake rotors on the front of their bike or if there are floating ones off later models with same dia, offset, etc.. I dont particuarly want to change calipers thanks |

Thomas Heins has FZR 1000 rotors and calipers on his bike: http://menzel-5.de/9401.html?*session*id*key*=*session*id*val* These are floating rotors. A good way to improve braking is to change to steel-braced brakelines and to swap the main cylinder to a model with smaller diameter of the piston. It's described on this site (Manfreds). |

I have a main brake cylinder from a Yamaha TZR 250 on my TR1, and one from the XJ 600 Diversion on my XJ650 Turbo. They have both a 14mm piston, and brakes are "good enough" now. The cylinder from the XJ has also an adjustable lever. Bye, Georg |
