I hear about some issues with these regarding the pads overhanging the edge of the disc. Perhaps I heard wrong, or perhaps those were some prototype.

Any chance of a picture of the back of the caliper with the spring removed to show the disc track in relation to the pads to confirm this is not an issue?

Ok Blair , I will see what condition the calipers are in when I get them . What length lines would you recommend for a K3 SV650s that is running an ABM comfort kit (probably same length as a Naked SV)

:) Hi, I am not familiar with a comfort kit, but if your line length is the same as the 2003 SV650N model, I would the Galfer standard length SS lines for the N model, I have the Galfer SS lines in stock for $89.95 for the Front SS Lines, and $49.95 for the Rear SS Lines,

The other option is to measure your line length and let me know, I will have a set made up to your length specifications,

We always recommend starting off with new brake pads as we never know for sure how the calipers have been stored or used or what may have been spilled on the pads over time.

Email me directly at b.layton@svracingparts.com whenever you are ready, and I will get you looked after right away. Remember to let me know your color preference for the 4 Piston Tokico Brake Caliper Adapter Brackets, Silver or Black,

On my SV with TWF brackets, I used my galfer lines that I had on the stock calipers. Works fine. And I have ZERO pad over hang. I think these brackets are just like Zorans, TWF. A great improvement.

I'm 99% sure Zorans brackets and these have been developed seperately. And I'm sure Blair has more integrity than to just buy stuff from TWF and copy dimensions. Hence why I would like to see some detail about overhang before I agree to fit these for anyone.

I almost bought the ones from Blair, which in the pictures I have seen of them look like twins to the TWF ones. A bud of mine is a personal friend of Zoran's and he got me a smokin deal on them...:-) The reason I changed from the HSA ones was that the machining was off and they had to have shims to get them straight, a major pain. A friend had bought the HSA ones also and his were also off needing to be shimmed to make work.

I have been thinking about getting or making some of these adaptors but when I mocked some up they did not lie true to the disc.
I think the reason is that you are bolting the adaptor onto the outside of the mounts on the fork leg, the problem is that this face has not been machined and you are relying on the casting face being square which it is'nt.
The only answer is to get the lugs on the fork legs spot faced.

\anybody else reached the same conclusion.

Good enough for the stock calipers?

How much of a difference did you discover?

The stock calipers mount on the inner face which has been machined the outer face that the adaptors fit to is not machined so will possibly vary from fork to fork.
The difference on mine was approximatly the thickness of one washer.

This is only an observation and a small amout of misalignment will probably be taken up by twin pistons in the calipers.

zadar

16-11-09, 11:14 PM

On my forks that surface is machined. Difference is that inside side is not painted over while outside is. It has to be machined for bolt to sit flat on surface.

If you want more braking power ad 2 more pistons to each brake caliper...

Blair's adapter plates help you acomplish just that...

Honda calipers pictured here are about 2-3mm lower on rotor than gsxr calipers. If honda calipers are right on edge of rotor than gsxr ones must be over. I tried both and know for fact they don't fall in same place.
ps. could have at least screwed pins in hole.

:) Hi Everyone, The pictures of the Honda F4 - F4i Nissin Calipers are from Steph on another forum. She seems very happy with them and they look good. She posted up here impressions, and gave permission to share the photos with you,

If anyone would rather not use the nissin, then don't. It is only a member using the Brackets suggestion that the Nissin offers another option,

A number of members have posted up on this forum that they are satisfied with the fit, finish, and performance of the SV Racing Parts, Brake Caliper Adapter Brackets for mounting the Tokico 4 Piston Calipers onto the SV650.

They sell for $55 per set, and reasonable shipping, which is a fraction of the price they went for when Dirty Dog, (Adam) was making them and I worked with him to improve and refine these parts,

They are here and available for anyone who wants them in both Anodized Silver and Anodized Black Finish.

All the requisite hardware is included with the parts,

Anyone interested in them can Email me directly at b.layton@svracingparts.com

Matt, your brackets are twin works factory ones. As I said to you yesterday the pads appear to line up fine and appear to be wearing in a perfectly normal fashion.

Blair if the fit and rigidity of your parts is equal to these then I would happily recommend and fit them for anyone. I will update my POV when I can collar some owner of these parts with some allen keys and a camera. For the moment I will remain ambivalent :)

04-02-10, 09:47 PM

Well, I got brackets today and mounted them up. First they don't align caliper on center of rotor, it is about 2mm off and you need to put couple washers between bracket and caliper to align it.
Than pads overhang over top of rotor by about 2mm + height of rotor edge bevel. Pads should fall right below beveled edge on rotor.
No wonder he is avoiding to answer and posting pictures with bolts missing. That is flat out lying!

Yea, they are totally wrong. With bevel on rotor pads is 3mm higher than it should be and with wear it will wrap right around edge of rotor and drag. Even Honda caliper is putting pad over edge, not as much. Than you have to stack bunch of washers just to center it on rotor.
How can someone even sell this??

Instead of showing us pictures of these things clamped in place it appears we have had the wool pulled over our eyes with shots that appear to be aligned correctly but with bolts loose , possibly to get around the issues that have been brought forth . Why didn`t you just offset the holes in the CNC program so that the pads were in the correct place ?

Thanks Zadar!
Useful information,
I'm sorry you've wated your money, though.

I bought some rearset riser plates from SVRacing parts and was a little bit dissapointed with their finish, but at least they don't seem to involve any risk for me or my bike.

I learned something with those riser plates: If the seller is only showing you a small blurred image... the product won't be as nice as he says it is.

And I've learned something else with this thread where the seller didn't even wanted to show a decent image of the product!

Thanks again, Zadar.

Purposely position part so it does not show problem but look correct is past not showing, it is scam. Money I spent on it is well worth exposing people like this.

Kudos to you mate for taking the hit.

I have to say there was something 'not right' all along in this thread, the guy was obviously dodging the real issue.

So, is there anywhere I can get properly machined brackets then? I've got my calipers off just now and am tempted to upgrade rather than overhaul.... again.

No idea, I think Twin Works Factory stopped making them. Just upgrade whole front end :-D

I mentioned that calipers are not centered on rotor, center of caliper falls at edge of rotor, about 2.5-3mm off. To deal with this I was sent 8 washers (see pic). I have to put 2 washers under each caliper mount to get caliper centered. Problem is this are just plain stamp washers and out of 8 only 2 of them measured same. They go from 1.25mm - 1.6mm. So, if you stack two thin ones on one mount and 2 thick on other your caliper sits on angle and you may have weird pad wear.

I'm pretty dissapointed. Zadar, I did think your attitude was a little aggressive earlier in the thread and mentioned it and I stand by that still.

But, the important part of this discussion is the suitability and fitment of these brackets. Is there a genuine reason for this particular pair to position the calipers off center and at the wrong radius to place the pads correctly on the rotors/discs or are they simply manufactured to incorrect dimensions in the first place.

All the hard work has been done in designing and manufacturing them, to do this with incorrect dimensions seems totally illogical to me. I dont think that Blair would intentionally ship out brackets that he knew were wrong. A 30 second edit to the CNC programs would resolve the hole positions and the caliper alignment so I dont understand why this would happen. Either the measurements have been taken from a slightly different bike or slightly different calipers/pads, or they simply havent been measured correctly in the first place. Only one person can answer that.

Simple mistakes I can live with provided that they are resolved for customers who have paid for these but in the back of my mind I am hoping that it is a simple mistake. If this proves to be lack of the proper expertise in the first place then that makes me wonder about the remaining attributes of what is likely to be the most important piece of safety equipment on the finished motorcycle. If you have a problem with one of these plates under heavy braking then the consequences would be extremely serious.

Blair, the stage is yours. Your audience awaits.

Wonder where they're manufactured, i saw the words 'our workshop' or something like that. Unless he bought a billion of them from China or something, as Flymo said, isn't this a simple fix? Ruining your reputation on both sides of the pond for a couple of mm? Bugger me.

what workshop?

What Blair likes to do is purchase products from other people who figure out how to make it work ( fitting, getting numbers, REAL thinking ). Then he makes copies of them and says they are his own product.

Anything that is a "SVRP" product, really isn't. It's a copy.
Look at everything else he sells, it's a product from someone else.

Bibio

07-02-10, 02:23 AM

if he had done that then he would have had the option of having them replaced.

i would like to see this person actually make good on his mistakes and admit to them and offer a replacement item or refund. i think he is a committed person with a lot of drive to actually get off his **** and do something in the first place. for this i would like to see him do well. but judging by his slap dash attitude to customer relations i can see him going down the pan which in my view would be a shame.

:) Hi, I just saw your post, Thank you. To have some suggest that all these parts are blatantly bad is not accurate. The sad part is that the tone and attitude of the thread for some time has not been conducive to easy open communication.

I am aware of this issue, and we are working on it. At $55 a caliper set you can be sure that our resources are not being expended for the purpose of providing parts that are not correct.

Actual customers are being contacted and worked with individually to correct any issues.

Actual purchasers, you are being individually requested to Email me at b.layton@svracingparts.com and I will give you a quick reply to discuss with you what we are doing to correct any issues, and get you looked after.

You can all be sure that I look after my customers, and will be providing them with the correct fixes and solutions to all issues.

We know where the issues stem from, they will be eliminated in the next batch we will be machining.

It has been rough but we have learned certain things about the brackets we did not realize previously, that will benefit all of us looking to do the upgrade on our brakes,

I will re-post regarding the Brake Caliper Adapter Brackets availability as soon as the fixes are in place,

Enjoy the ride, and best regards,
Blair

Locked! I think this has gone far enough now. For those of you that have bought the SVRP adapter and aren't happy with them then please contact Blair directly at b.layton@svracingparts.com (b.layton@svracingparts.com) and for those of you that haven't purchased them I suggest you get off the bandwagon.

Right, after speaking with the other mods I have re-opened the thread.
The only posts I want now are from people who have actually bought the SVRP adapter plates and are NOT happy with them so that list of names can be passed onto Blair for him to rectify in which way he sees appropriate.
Any posts from people that have not bought the adapters or "I was going to buy them but not now" will be deleted

If they are not wrong why did I receive brackets that don't work? They were ordered after questions here and after you claimed they work.
You were asked very simple question on beginning of this thread about fit, you ignored it at first and than came back with picture where you tried to hide problem you knew about and make as believe they do fit correct.
After some digging on SVR this problem was known for long time and you keep avoiding answers and keep selling parts.
Communication tone was your issue, questions were simple and to the point.

Just to back this up. Please only post if you have a genuine question relating to a product you have bought and are experiencing a problem with.

This pointless bickering / Blair bashing is getting us nowhere...

I dont wish to be acused of picking sides or conducting a cover up, so lets just play nice and keep it civil and give Blair some time to sort this out.

If we cant find away to do that I'll lock the thread and be done with it.

I personally feel its better to leave it open. As a forum / team of mods or admins we have nothing to hide.

Also if we lock it, it will prevent Blair from providing any update as to what the fix is or when it is likely to be made available or refunds given.

Deleting it wont solve anything it'll just drive it all underground. Like I said I have no interest in covering anything up. I have nothing against Blair or his products. I just would like this solved / sorted out as quickly and amicably as possible.

Trying to drive things underground or cover them up, I dont feel is serving any useful purpose which is the other reason I feel this thread should stay here intact as it is now.
