Brake Upgrade

Ok, so i have read and read and know I want to do it. Does anyone have contacts for GSXR1000 setup? I have been checking ebay but there are none. I am watching a few RC51 setups though. I know a lot of people have done this and if some one could pm me abou it i would appreciate it. I will look again at the threads and most likely pm some one who has details.

Thanks in advance. I know its been beaten to death.

RC51 calipers, use your oem brake lines (ss is better) you want to find the thread that has pics of where to shave, and how much off the caliper so it will bolt up...really is not a big deal...I like mine a lot...

I just got a set of CBR929 calipers in the mail today. I'm happy because they are the gold ones, although the black ones look good too. From the information I've found they are the same as the RC51 parts. Once I get them installed I'll report on the difference.
