Fitting R6 Front Brake Calipers

Post by Tealman » Wed Nov 30, 2016 12:37 am

Hi guys. I'm about to hit the button on a pair of R6 (2002) front brake calipers and master cylinder - I know that this is a recognised upgrade for the TRX but can someone confirm that it's a straightforward 'bolt on' upgrade :?:

Confirmed.
All non-radial calipers from R1 & R6 bolt straight on.
You should use use the R1 or R6 brake master cylinder as well, this gives the correct 'feel'.

there is some re-routing of the brake lines, but you can make the stock lines work fine
