will these calipers mount up on the 954 forks? and or work with the 954 or 1000rr rim and rotors?

 

Ok I'll edit this and tell you what I've found. I try to be as helpful as possible but do bear in mind you could have looked this up just as easily. But for future reference it's good to cross reference part#'s. I use the microfiche on ronayers.com, and I also like to keep a big thick old Dennis Kirk catalog around (I'm sure those huge Parts Unlimited catalogs are even better if you can find one). I looked up the part#'s for the pads & they're the same, and if you compare the pics of mine to some ebay 954 calipers they look identical. Ronayers.com does list a slightly different part# between the two bikes, but I couldn't tell you if that means they're actually different. If you look at some ebay 954 forks the calipers look to bolt directly to them like the superhawk does-no caliper brackets like the rc51 forks use. So just based on that it looks like you may have a bolt on. But again please don't hold me to that as I would only give you a definite yes if I could physically mount them.

 

superhawk: 45150-MBB-D41
rc 51: 45150-MCF-D31
954: 45150-MCJ-752
1000rr: 45150-MEL-023

All the prefix numbers are the same, but I am not sure what that could even begin to tell you about the bolt pattern. They appear to be all different according to numbers, though I would have to assume that the bolt pattern on the forks would be the same as they are all Showa (I believe) and therefor, with minor fitment the calipers should be interchangeable. If the traditional (nonradial) brakes from a GSXR will mount on a Showa fork off a Honda, I imagine that it is all interchangeable within reason.

Long story short, 75 bucks is not lost money as you will be easily able to resell for no loss.

 

Thanks autoteach. And Chris with regards to the wheels, spacers, axles, rotor sizes you can look that stuff up bro... I don't know off the top of my head. I've had the joy of mixing and matching parts for my bike for a long time, and sometimes you just have to try stuff. As long as you can buy a part for a good price it's not a big deal if it doesn't work. Whenever I have to resell something I'll clean it up and take nice pics of it and usually end up getting a few bucks more when I put it back on ebay.

 

Chris there's also lots of great swap info on here if you use the search function, as different folks have used different fork/brake/wheel combos on their swaps. You can also search other places like fireblades.org (I'm not real familiar with it) because guys also do the same swaps with bikes like the 919. I used all rc51 front end parts on my swap to try and keep it simpler. I recently swapped off these calipers for cbr radials because there are custom brackets made specifically for that so it's an easy bolt on (and they look the mutts nuts too )

 

thank you I know I have been doing a lot of searching all across the internet on the swap stuff and everything
