Guest repliedWe need to have all bigger changes to be inspected for them to be road leagal. Even as small change as a change to steel brake hoses. I am not sure what they look for in the inspections. Probably the performance and strong enough structure. They look like to be well made. I guess I can try it out what they think. I sent you private message.Last edited by Guest; 02-24-2015, 01:04 AM. -
Yes and yes but not Finland specifically. I don't know a lot about your inspection so can't really comment - they have been used successfully in the UK and France.
I expect if it's performance based there wouldn't be a problem.Last edited by salty_monk; 02-17-2015, 12:56 AM.Leave a comment:

Guest repliedI would be interested in adding some stopping power to my skunk GS1000G -81. Are you willing to deliver them over here to Finland?
Have you delivered any of these kits to the Europe or know anyone who has done this upgrade over here and Finland in particular? I wonder what the inspector would say about the change.
My apologies if this has been discussed earlier I have read big part of the thread but not all.Leave a comment:

Willie - I have done a lot of research on this. You are basically limited to 2 piston sliding calipers as 4 piston & 6 piston opposed units are generally too wide for our forks & hubs. I have seen 4 piston fitted but the clearances were very tight & they had to do things like run the bolt in from the inside to create extra clearance. I don't know for sure but they may also have had to do away with the speedo drive in order to space the rotors out far enough. The finished article looked pretty ugly.
There is a newer model caliper on the newer ninja's, V strom's etc. It has 2 pistons the same size (for cost reasons I believe). It's not well known for being a great caliper - these older ones are better once rebuilt. Also it's mounting holes are not so convenient for our purposes, the attachment bracket would be a lot more complex & would require use of 4 bolts not 3.
There are some twin piston Brembo's etc about - you'll pay a premium for them though & they are hard to find (especially for both sides...)
