Rear caliper options?

Yeah, I know it's not used a lot so and "upgrade" as such is pointless, but the new TRX I've just bought has a sticking one, so I thought I'd rob the stock caliper of my original bike and it something different to that one as it's got a lot of modified stuff on it anyway.

So, anything good that'll fit the standard brakcet? what about another blue spot one off an R1 or R6? or am I talking custom brakets for somthing like this?

I think you'll be making brackets. Phuk has a blue spot on his, but I think it's off an XJR or something.

Yeah, Billet do a mini GP style caliper, but he recommends doing two in tandem with a bracket to suit.

looking at the brembo caliper, pretty good vfm.

any one know the weight of the standard caliper?

AFAIK nothing bolts straight on.

Be careful with any aftermarket stuff as you will need it to accept a torque arm

Mine is an R1 caliper with modded R1 bracket and bespoke torque arm
