    brake calipers upgrade

    Has anyone used the 4 piston Harrison brake calipers for the early 85-92 V max, front and back? Just wondering the difference compared to oem stock. I'm interested in the Harrison because you can use the stock rotors and brackets. Thanks

    Did a few small popular upgrades today.

    Changed the rear brake pads to the EBC HH pads. My stock pads started making noise at about 1200 miles with a whistle/howl sound. I was disappointed at first, but these new pads are already a great improvement so now I am glad they started acting up. Switched from the Yamalube engine oil to...

    Caliper upgrades

    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.
