YEP, I bought a set of calipers from a 04 999. I used the bracket from gixxerfixxer AND bingo. Brembo set up. Im having issues with my stock m/c binding but the brakes feel better. I want to set the rear up too. I found this
motorcycle gallery - unique motorcycle parts and accessories for the track and street from beanos-nuts - M H Products >>
The caliper they have on it looks like the 996 or monster caliper. Im wondering what the bolt measurements are to use a better caliper. Either one would have to be better than the stock busa. I had issues with mine since it was new. Braided line didnt help much. They also sell just the bracket and torque arm with out the caliper. They quoted me a price shipped of 127.0 I didnt think that was to bad. Then find a ebay caliper and Bingo rear brembo too.
Glad you're up and running with your setup
I've just added a 19x20 brembo radial MC to mine and I was actually quite shocked at the difference. I was happy enough with the setup the way it was but I stumbled upon a MC for the right money and decided to give it a go... it's definitely worth the upgrade if you can find one cheap enough.
Im still trying to figure out how switching from the stock 6 pot caliper to a brembo 4 pot is an upgrade? the one pictured doesn't look like a mono block, so I cant see it being that much stiffer. Also seems like you losing some pad surface area.
Bigger isn't always better... especially where 6 pot toks are concerned.
It's all about swept area and PSI (and the fact that brembo calipers don't sieze up when you so much as breathe on them)
Generally speaking, most 4 pot caliper setups on bikes are better (apply more braking effort) than their 6 pot caliper equivalent. Most 6 pot setups are just for the bling factor.
Anything has to be better than the stockers
Spot on... and the fact that brembo are possibly the best brake manufacturer in the world.
Looking to do this too (front calipers that is) because I agree with most folks here that the stock calipers just aren't very good. I checked the Yoyodyne site and they have busa-specific adapter brackets that work with the 4-pad calipers (will be getting the gold). Question: are the banjo bolts the same size as for stock? I already have Galfer steel brake lines that I'm hoping I can still use.
The banjo bolts are a finer thread on the brembo calipers (M10 x 1.0... I think) but the brembo banjo bolts will fit in your lines as they are both 10mm banjos.
I've been inundated with calls and questions about the adapter plates and a lot of people have bought them for the hayabusa and a few other bikes that use the same 6 pot toks and it seems everyone is more than happy with the results.
I've just done the drawings for a set of adapter plates to suit the 100mm brembo radial calipers. There will probably be very little difference in stopping power between these and the 4 pot 4 pad axial calipers but they do look sexier
I sent the drawings off to the engineer last night so hopefully, I will have a set of radial calipers mounted in a week or so. I'll post the pictures/results as soon as they're fitted
