Just bought an underslung brake caliper and although I have not measured if I need a new hose I m confident I will do as the length and possibly the orentiation of the fittings will almost certainly be different to stock. Question is does anyone know anywhere that makes custom made to measure stainless steel braided hoses ideally located in the north west so I can take the bike over and show them exactly what I need.
Not sure if these guys can help you? They do all our work for the Unimog. Phone call must be worth a punt? Hydraulic Hose Replacement - Blackpool | Fylde Hydraulics
Sorry i'm no use with the hose except it might be worth giving Jonny a call who's been doing the forum group buy on HEL lines. Can I ask where you found the underslug caliper bracket as i'd quite like one for my RR6.
Andrew, I looked into this a while ago and came across these guys in US. Not tried them but another CBR 1000 RR site used them and found them to be OK. Arthur might have some better info. http://www.forged-wheel.com/fw/products.php?type=cz&product=CZBR
If you want to mount the OEM Honda Nissin caliper you need to talk to Mike at FP Racing in the US, comes with all you need, mount, line, clips the lot. Looks ace too, other mounts take HPK Brembo calipers or OEM Brembo calipers that are 84mm spacing, Racing Brembo calipers are 64mm and need yet another type of mount normally made for the job.. Take note most Brembo under slung calipers will foul the OEM Honda wheel as the hub is large, some miss but ant say for sure on rr7, the FP racing mounts works fine, it was drawn by a chap called Rene and made CNC by Mike. As I say most under slung Brembo calipers are for aftermarket wheels.
Arthur came we the info (thanks again mate) its a trader from Taiwan called trc0928 who trades on ebay. Just had a quick look and he has no items currently listed but keep checking as he does regularly update. I have'nt fitted it yet but quality looks good and the delivery was extremely quick (5 days from Taiwan) and no duty to pay as under £100. Hope the info is useful
Yeah I heard that. I have Dymag UP7 wheels fitted so I m hoping there won't be a problem but not fitted yet so can't confirm. I don't suppose you know on the off chance if the UP7 wheel has a clearance issue ?
Not that I know mate, the odd thing is and my reason for being a little unsure is I know people with say SP2's that are also subject to much the same problem yet they run the OEM wheel with no problems! Its all a little odd but my advice to anyone running OEM wheels and about to order under slung brembo mounts is check the returns pol.....
