Those fit the Canadian/euro rz350 forks only...86-90
They came on the early gsxrs. Around 89 I believe.

Grab some of these:

R1/R6 calipers are light and powerful and so many choices on aftermarket pads...

They are the same as the Triumphs basically, just a slightly different unit, both by Nissin and both fit the later forks.

The brackets for the R1/6 calipers are fine. I run a set made by a forum member. Running a Brembo M/C from an Aprilia.

So how are the R1 calipers compared to stock?

Mind you I'm running a 13mm bore Nissin master cylinder with braided lines and sintered pads. So it's as good as stock stuff can get.

Thanks.

More power,better feel-just all around better and I'm still using ancient rubber lines. Didn't use stainless to see just how strong they were. Like others I had visions of the 35mm fork tweaking. But the limit is traction and it's the same tire it was with stock.

Don't think I'd install Yamaha monoblocks with a 13MM m/c. I'm running a 19MM m/c. The pressure will be higher but it'll take a lot of lever travel to be effective.

The blue spots are a great caliper. It's my go to on project bikes. I search for FZ6 calipers, same caliper as the R1, half the price.

On my XV920R. 475 lbs wet, 37mm legs. I use an FZ1 MC. Works great.

I found the base drawing on the XS650 Forum and a buddy of mine made them for me. We had to tweak it a little to get the pads to align with the rotor correctly. He designed the webbing and added bevels to each edge.


The front wheel should look familiar to F2 and SRX6 owners.
