Does anyone still make adapters to fit brembo calipers on a Gen1? All the old links on the forums here and everywhere come up dead. Nothing on ebay, etc either. Like many other before me i am on the endless quest to improve Gen 1 brakes :-)
Thanks - that’s a very detailed page. I was hoping to find an adapter to go radial but those look speedy. The 65mm axial looks an option but something about the rotor sizes? May I ask what route you went in the end and what was the experience with the upgrade. I am considering worst case a rebuild of the tokicos..

Hi I went with the Beringer calipers and master. I up graded to Ti caliper pistons and all bolts. The fronts was about $3,700.00 with Braking rotors. The back is also a Beringer from DME rotor and caliper $775.00 I keep the stock master.Thanks - i already have the braided lines and EBC HH lines. I have a brembo rcs19 on the way. Ill start with those things and then do a seal refresh and deep cleaning on the calipers and see where that lands me.
Wow!! I don’t think my busa is that hard to stop but yeah that is one hell of a braking setupHi I went with the Beringer calipers and master. I up graded to Ti caliper pistons and all bolts.

I think you will be pleased with the set up you have when you install the RCS19........the stock master cylinder is just not up to the job.Thanks - i already have the braided lines and EBC HH lines.

Crank on the brakes and Zip tie the brake lever overnight.Any secrets to bleeding these tokico 6 pots? I put the rcs19 mc and put new seals on the calipers. Brake just feels spongy. Bled the MC first and the left followed by right. Even put speed bleeders on. No bubbles coming out of anywhere. Lever is still too soft. The brakes on this thing just don’t inspire any confidence lol
Its for that very reason I added a double banjo bleeder at the Master Cylinder. This one is from lightech, but I am sure others make them as well.Had tried the zip tie thing and it was still a bit spongy. Tried a few other thing like back bleeding, etc too. The brakes work but just a wierd slightly spongy feel. Turns out these 6 pots find some place to retain some air somewhere. I took the caliper off and then the pads off. Pushed the pistons back in by hand as far as they go and then for each caliper opened and then removed the bleeder. There was a gush of fluid squirting out at first pushing air with it and then finally settling into the slow drip. Put everything back and then zip tied the lever overnight. Firm brakes and great lever feel.
