Front calipers, what else fits? - SV650.org

Front calipers on my curvy are in need of a overhaul.
Just wondered which calipers from other bikes fit curvys as ive read the oem brakes arnt that good even when serviced with new seals, pistons, fluid ect ect..

Decent master cylinder and calipers from another bike that just bolt straight on would be ace, but i get the feeling it aint that easy???

standard callipers are fine when well serviced.
You can get adapter plates so other callipers fit but I'd try servicing yours first. By the way the curvy is bike of the month on suzuki's website and I noticed brake seal kits are cheep cheep.

Not sure I could let myself sell you them without pointing out there'll be no noticeable difference between well serviced pointy callipers and well serviced curvy callipers.
Unless you just want to avoid servicing your own callipers?

£60

And if you're replacing the pads I have some brand new EBC HH race (sealed) pads for sale

I liked them with the sv calipers.
