Hendo Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Does anyone know if any other calipers will fit this 1997 CBR 600 of mine? It has 80mm bolt spacing. It currently has the 2 pot sliding jobbies up front and despite stripping and cleaning they are woefully shit. It already has braided hoses, new fluid and plenty of meat on the EBC HH rated pads. They lack bite, feel and stopping power and I'd like to change them if something else was a direct fit...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcuszs Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 I might be wrong but I'm sure I have read or seen someone online fitting nc30 fork lowers to allow more choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMSMJ1 Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 41mm fork lowers - your best bet is firestorm or MC28 - then you can fit the large Nissins that are the law. or NC30 lowers and some brackets... Sliding calipers are poo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorenzo Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 One thing to bear in mind might be if your speedo is run off a cable on the front; you might want another bike that'll take the speedo drive. If not, ignore this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronenige Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 has it ever had new seals ? they are supposed to be changed every 4 years and you might be using a good chunk of the force just moving the pistons , also Dunlopad hh+ are the absolute shizzle for turning your squeezage into retardation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorenzo Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Dunlopad hh+ are the absolute shizzle for turning your squeezage into retardation DP sport HH+ are the connoisseurs pad of choice. However, they're not the bitiest ever, and if you're lacking initial bite, I'd just say fuck it, spend a shit load on new fork lowers & calipers. What's the worst that can happen? You get a bit skint. No problem for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcuszs Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Iv got a decent pair of nc30 callipers , braided lines and master cylinder I'm selling if there any use ? Taken from my trackbike when I did the fork swap on it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanuki Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 My old nc29 would lift the back wheel under hard braking. Like Nige says replace the seals and clean up the pistons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Gringo Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Fully stripped and serviced my NC23 2 pots are awesome, along with braided lines, Bendix MRRs and a master cylinder rebuild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted March 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 All good advice folks. I wasnt keen on spending much money on them, at the end of the day they will always just be sliding 2 pots, hence hoping for the bolt on replacement option. Its kinda wierd, they seem to offer very little feeling. Pull on it hard and it feels like they are going to lock up, yet your not actually stopping that quick. Its probably just highlighting the worn out suspension? Or the brakes on the 3XV are spoiling me. EDIT - why doesnt the return button work on my phone!?

lorenzo Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Didn't I read somewhere that people do adaptor plates for sticking proper calipers on SVs? Maybe they'll also fit a CBR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilchicken0 Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 I guess you've made sure they are actually sliding ? You've cleaned the pin and replaced the grease. Put a cbr RR front end on it or just sell it and buy a Yamaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
