The calipers are the one thing I've always disliked about the SV and the bandit 600 for that matter. I just couldn't justify spending a months mortgage on a set of BILLET mini-6

Well I've ordered a pair, and sourced some K2 GSXR600 caliper like the pics.

Will post my thoughts in a few weeks when bits have arrived and are fitted!

My forks have upgraded springs and heavier oil so will see how it goes.

In wet or bad conditions, the progressiveness and feel is just so much better.
Good point

Oh aye, meant to say- for really good brakes, try matching the 4-pots to a better master cylinder. That was always the weakness of the GSXRs. Brembo radial here And it's utterly, totally, the business.

Agreed, SV owners have been waiting for this for a while

Aye, but the site owners ask that people using the site for advertising let them know first, seems to be pretty much as a courtesy. Which might well have happened.
