Default 99-02 rear caliper alternative?

there any good rear calipers that can be changed for the stock ones with min moding

or is it changing the swing arm the only way? if so think an MV F4 750 " lets say of an 04 " would fit? would love a singal swing arm on an sv would look nice.

The rear caliper on the curvy SV is actually a really good caliper if it's clean and in good working order

the problem is, if the back is to strong then all your going to do is lock the rear up

point of the post was if there was an after market caliper that would bolt on to stock mounts but i see that there ant.


well you only lock up the back end if your A, a novice rider and dont know what ya doing or B you wanted to( but cant see any reason why you would ). you can lock the back end up easy with the crap sv calipers. BH lines are a given on any bike road or race.

Yeah i seen the convert plate from TWF, and the spacers but am not a fan, look abit out of place so am doing to get on the CNC and make somthing bit better... ill post some pics when am done.

if you can lock up the rear with the sv calliper then why would you need a better one ? better feel ? more controllable rear brake?

or is it just a bling thing ?
