Blue Spot Rear Calliper

[Stv]

Hi, Im Stv & a newbie to your site & in need of help concerning my TRX, Ive owned a 99 TRX for past 5yrs, I fitted early R1 blue spots to front which was an easy swap, I now want to fit a rear blue spot, as anyone fitted one to there rear & if so could you tell me off what model, also what about the calliper arm etc...standard or not, any info appreciated as it is now doing my nut in...
Thanks Stv.

You would need to fit the R1 carrier from a 98-03 bike, a different spacer to take care of the offset & a machined bush for the difference in spindle size.

Hope this helps?

From memory the R1 carrier won't have a fitting for your torque arm. Again from memory, it's been a while since I looked at this conversion, you can use the carrier from an early Fazer1000/FZ1 which will accept the torque arm. It's a different blue spot though as the calipers mounting holes are a different spacing. Again, a bush will be needed to take care of spindle size and possibly and adjustment for alignment. If going down this road I think you can also use the set up off an XJR1300, same deal.

Hi guys a big thanks for your replies & usefull info which has definately been noted, As me & her indoors run the bike cafe @ Sheffield Motorcycle centre I have access to loads of bikes coming in & out of the shop & have even been caught stalking a number of customers bikes measuring up there callipers on fazor 1000's & XJR,s
After speaking to one of the techy's he reckons an 02/3 blue spot off fazor 600 will fit with exsisting calliper bracket & torque arm, lets see...? Going to be stalking Fazor 600 owners now
Thanks again guys will keep u posted with this mission...Stv
