Talk to Sean Morley one2dmax is his forum name and I'm sure he will be on here soon to speak up.
I've got adapters for 4 piston tokico and stock rotots and also adapters for 6 piston huyabusa calipers with larger rotors. I don't have the R1 sets.

My bad..... we'll Sean... get on it!
How much for the Hayabusa adapters? What years of Busa can I get calipers from? 298mm rotor size?

All Busa's 1999-2007 were the same. 2008 are radial mount.
I'm getting the adapterd powder coated (though you can buy them as is or we can chrome them too). I will be selling them at $20 for uncoated and $30 for coated. $50 for chrome. Get a set of later model Vmax Rotors and you're in business.

Looks like I'll be selling the R1 calipers I just bought. I also sent you a regular email about how to pay you.

Well i got R1 rotors ,and i too tried getting a hold of quality parts and he said he moved and won't be making any adaptors till winter:damn angry:
So i found a guy named Kieth from the UK that has a business called customvmax services. He too makes them and i tried 3 times to get him to respond by email and he won't get back to me:damn angry:
Looks like i'm S.O.L. unless someone has any other suggestions...

This guy makes some very nice parts, no idea who he is just ran across it in looking for a swingarm brace kit; which he sells pre-fab ready to weld in.

I made my own set of adapters to mount my 6 pot Tokicos on my VMax. You might want to consider that. It doesn't look as "polished" as a CNC job but it works the same.

That's a shame, his swing arm brace kit is less than a $100 USD, even with shipping it would be much less than anyone elses.
I did just email him tho' maybe I'll get a response???? We'll see....
The cheapest brace I can find in the states is Dale Walkers which isn't a "KIT" and is about $285 and i don't think includes notching....

Well i just P.m'D Sean about his Busa adaptors.
Looks like i'm going to buy a set of busa calipers from ebay , Then buy the adaptors from sean. I actually like the looks of the busa adaptors much better than the R1 adaptors anyway.
Now i have a set of R1 calipers i can't use, Anyone interested? Make me an offer...

I got an email response back from him in less than 24 hours.
He sells the complete kit shipped from UK to Texas for $125 usd and was willing to modify it to my specifications; my specification being to have the center vertical piece go to the existing cross piece in front of the tire instead of adding a new cross piece in front of the tire (see the middle picture); due to the extra cross piece being in the way since I'm running an 18" wheel and plan on going to a 200/55-18 which is about 3/4" taller I think than my current tire.
For someone who can MIG weld or have it done this is WAY the hell cheaper than sending one out, even if I have to pay to have it powder coated afterwards.
I really like the design of his brace becasue on the caliper side it comes down and then back up where you can SEE it. vain I know but if I'm going to brace it I want to be able to see the brace....it would also allow the use of a VERY short torque rod in the event I go to an underslung rear brake caliper.

Keith got back to me last week , a little late but that's ok.
he is sending me the adaptors this week.
Now for the next problem...
I called Mike at white buffalo for the galfer rotors.
I told him i want to buy rotors for my R1 caliper conversion.
He told me i have to buy floating rotors for the R1 calipers.
Fixed rotors won't work:ummm:
Big price difference floating>245.00 fixed>140.00
Is this correct or is he talking me into something i don't need?
Also, i could have sworn his prices were 115 for the fixed a month or so back.
Anybody know for sure?
