day101 0 Posted June 14, 2011 Well today was going to take my bike out after not long after getting it back from the garage new calipers and discs on the front, lucky thing was had it up on paddock stands today and the front week had so much drag on it, it was dangerous. had a look on the internet and they only fitted bandit 1200 calipers on there and the offset is all wrong. so ive taken them off as they wanted me to ride it there and not doing that so handed them back loose and they can get me the right ones and im not paying any extra!!!

day101 0 Posted June 14, 2011 been reading up on the internet, the nissin calipers will fit but people have had problems with the gap where the pads go, on the tokico's there is 13mm gap with the nissin ones there is only 9mm gap. people have had to mod the fork mountings my shaving off 1mm to make the disc centre so there pads can work.
