    03 CBR front calipers/MC upgrade

    I've been looking around for a new MC for my bike, and was wondering if 03 CBR 1000 calipers would work as well. I was thinking something like this from Flebay. It is actually just about as much as other MCs I have been looking at. I'm assuming they would give some nice stopping power as well

    Any recommendations for better parts or MCs would help as well as I am not perfect, and just completely guessing here

      I have no idea whether the CBR calipers would work, they will undoubtedly need some sort of adapters.

      The upgrade that Dogma mentioned has been done by several members here, and has the advantage of already having done the work of figuring out the adapters.

        Hmmm... I checked out salty's twin pot upgrade and may do that in the future. However, I think I solved my own question and will stick with the stock calipers (rebuild them if need be), and just replace the lines to SS and MC to some other twin MC. I started piecing together the parts list for the upgrade and... a tad out of a poor college student's budget
