Adapter plates for GSXR calipers on SV forks

dirtydog then you should have posted decent images along with the text eh!

I think my stock SV brakes are absolute pants, but I'm used to the wonderful 4 pot Nissins my Daytona 955i had, and the AP Racing 6 pots that were fitted to my Gixer Thou. My 10 year old CBR600 has far better brakes than my SV.

When I had my ZX9R I fitted lovely Tokico 4 pots from a GSXR600 to it, to replace the useless Tokico 6 pots.

It's likely I'll be fitting the same type of GSXR 4 pots to my SV

Thankfully I already have Racetech kitted forks that work quite well.

Now they're some awesome brakes on the 'Tona. Powerfull and loads of feel. The radial brakes on the Tornado are bloody powerful too.

Indeed, I had heavier oil and uprated springs

Earlier this year I lashed out on HEL braided lines, will they still be ok with these calipers or do I need longer lines or different angled fittings etc?

They'll work fine Lozzo, I was running mine with hel hoses for the sv, also ran a set with goodridge hoses

Cool, thanks.

I'm assuming that as the SV uses the exact same m/cylinder as a GSXR then it'll be ok as well. I had thought about fitting a radial Brembo from an R1, but that would definitely mean changing the brake lines.

The SV650 master-cylinder and brake lines will be fine Lozzo, I ran the SRAD front end for a few years with the standard master-cylinder and had no problems. The SV master-cylinder and 4-Pot SRAD callipers go well together, I only replaced because I was offered an ex-race Brembo.

Cheers, thought they'd be ok as you'd end up with exactly the same set up as a Gixer has, and no-one has issues with those.

Did you have to change the lines to fit the Brembo m/cylinder?
