    Anyone recognise these brake calipers?

    They came on a GSXR1100 front end that I got that had a 17" wheel conversion (from a later model) on it.






    Cheers,

      These look like the pads... maybe they're stock 1100?

        they look like stock first gen parts

        I'm guessing you are still sorting out the year on yours?

        Do you have 20mm axle?

          Text messages with my youngest brother Daniel right after he was paralyzed:

          Me: Hey Dan-O. Just wanted to say howdy & love ya!

          Dan-O: Howdy and Love you too. Doing good, feeling good.

          Me: Give 'em hell, Little Bro!

          Dan-O: Roger that! :)

            I think it's 17mm axle.

            Thanks, at least I know what to get pads for.... Are there any common caliper upgrades known for those forks that bolt on?

            Anyone know about the performance on these? They are 4 piston opposed type so should be pretty good but the swept area of the pad is a little small when measured against other more modern calipers....

              Those look just like the gsx600 katana calipers that are on mine. They work very well, more than enough stopping power for me.

                  Those are stock gsxr 750/ 1100 slabside calipers (g,h,j) also very similar to gsx1100ef (1150)

                    Did they all have the funny automotive style brake lines on them rather than a normal banjo bolt or are they something TPO added??
