Anyone interested in some adapters to bolt on some R1 (blue or gold pot)calipers to the US RZ350?

These are adapters to bolt on the R1 calipers to the US RZ. You have to also use the R1 rotors which bolts on to the RZ.

My understanding is Tony is making them to fit stock diameter brake rotors only.

KR-RZ350 is making them to fit R1 diameter rotors only?

Right now I'm only making one for the R1 rotors. I can sketch one up to make some for the stock rotors(if there's interest).

Looks like you guys have it all covered then. Nice that it can all be done closer to home rather than having to buy and ship from the UK.

I'm interested!! the early r1 rotors bolt right onto the wheel? I was told it needs adapters to put those rotors on. Or is that to just space the rotors out?

Both don't have any offset and the mounting pattern and center bore is exactly the same, so you just need an adapter to fit the calipers of your choice.

R1 rotors = bolt-on replacement for stock wheels.
