caliper

I have a 92 Vmax with 4 piston shimoto brake calipers on front, I need to rebuild the left caliper, does anyone know where to find a rebuild kit for it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ed

:bang head:Leaking like a sive Any online stores that anyone know of to pick up an aftermarket or rebuilt? Thanks to everyone, Ray

I've got two service manuals ('85 OEM & '85-'03 Haynes) and both list minimum service thickness at 7.0mm. I assume this to be absolute. Any rotors measuring less than 7.0mm should be thrown in the trash?? I have a spare rear rotor from my '86 with 6?,000 miles that measures 6.3mm. I just...

So I read up on the front brake upgrade for the pre-93 maxes. I think I've got it, but if my summary below is incorrect, then somebody please smack me. I just bid on two gold Hayabusa 6-pot calipers. My understanding is that I can use the stock reservoir, master cylinder, lines, and rotors...

Hey folks: You folks are awesome, so lemme ask you something that's bugging me: I'm cleaning up a set of R1 front calipers, and I'm trying to put a seal back in (one that goes into the region that the piston goes into) but I CAN'T FREAKIN' DO IT!!!!! Once I get a part of the seal into the...

So I want to upgrade the brakes on my '88. I have a complete front-end off a '96 Vmax so I'll use those 43mm forks (will get aftermarket springs). I would also like some R1-style calipers and a new master cilinder. Money is an issue, so I'll try to find the parts used. I've read through the...

is this the same on all models? 85 - 07? does anyone know? looking to pick up a spare maybe get it p/c'd and they're from all sorts of models on ebay for like $9.

Whose has the best prices on a front caliper rebuild kt? Noticed a nice puddle under mine while i was putting the battery charger on.

What do you folks think is the most cost and time efficient caliper upgrade for the later years Max (2001 in my case)? Is there anything that will bolt right up without an adapter? I don't care for the underpowered front brakes, but I don't want to break the bank either.

Looks like my right front caliper is leaking, are these rebuilable? Also, never did brakes on a a bike, done a ton of them on cars, are they as easy as pulling off the bolts compressing the rotor and putting the new pads on?

Anyone know about a conversion for the underslung rear brake caliper set up? I want to use my early 2000 R-1 caliper if possible. Is it just a different caliper support arm and weld a new tab for the brake bar on the bottom of the swing arm. Maybe someone can post some pics or post a link of...

I was wondering the option of calipers for my 05 wither r1, bussa, or what ever direct bolt ons and ones that require brackets that someone already makes i allready know fjr or bussa master are a good idea to go with the new calipers any responce would be great.

Does anyone have one of the tools for removing the R1 brake caliper piston bolts? I am looking to disassemble the set I have for to have the calipers chromed. If I could borrow / buy it, let me know!! Thanks!

Hello All My speedometer stopped working, so after checking with a drill that the cable still turned the speedo I had to pull the front tire and check the gear unit assembly. It had jumped off the meter clutch. Got it all back together and now it works :eusa_dance: Anyways I digress, as I was...

Does anyone know where to find 10mm x 30mm x 1.25 mm stainless allen bolts? I've looked all the main places with no luck.

One of the pistons is out a bit more than the other side. The caliper has over 66,000 miles on them and have never been rebuilt. Should I just clean it up or spend the time/money on new seals? Is changing out the seals really as easy as this...

Ok I read somewhere that you can fit one of the front calipers instead of the rear so I scored a front one,removed the old rear one and fitted the front caliper .O no ,due to the positioning of the brake line fitting my HEL s/s doesn't reach.Are you with me so far?So,to me it seems [a] new...

So, I've spent at least a couple hours reading and re-reading the threads on brake mods. Thanks for all that usefull info. But... There was very little discussion of using the 6 pot R1 setup. Can anyone comment on how these work and how complicated is installation on an '06 max? Also, what...

Had the dealer change tires yeaterday on my 85 Vmax and everything was going well until we noticed the front wheel brake pads were "real tight" on the front caliper, as if the brake lever was already pulled to about 50%. Without pulling the calipers off, they tried to push the pistons back a...
