Not sure if anyone is interested but there's a guy on eBay who is selling Brembo Monoblock M4 calipers with pads in 108mm spacing which should theoretically bolt straight onto the Fireblade. I've bought a set and will let you know if I have problems but they seemed pretty reasonable at £499 as you'll be able to recoup a bit from your old calipers once the Brembos are fitted.
Just make sure you have all cards with them as they are a lot of fakes out there. If they are real, that is a good buy
You will get confirmation from the brembro website and be able to get a certficate. I have kept this as proof resale value. My master cylinder purchased via ebay is genuine. I did not buy the cheapest. I may buy calipers soon too. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
Thanks guys...i did the same with the cards and downloaded the certificate too. Just to make sure as it is a safety system
The place I bought mine from on eBay was a seller called: SILNICZEK I recently got a 10% discount code sent through which must be redeemed by 08/09/16 which I definitely won't be able to use so this might come in handy for someone else, minimum spend £25, maximum saving £50: BOUKS79672FQBM Hope it helps. He's also very good at answering questions and communicating it would seem.
Thanks.. Any idea what this code can be used for? As says invalid ..but im trying it on a helmet on ebay ..
You should only be able to use it on items from the seller that I mentioned in the comment above. So if you are after Brembo m4's then you can get them for £450. I spoke to him and they are genuine with Brembo scratch cards, he runs a shop called Monster Garage.
Ah Okay...thanks Is £450 a good price..assuming they will bolt straight on.. How much do these go for second hand out of interest?
Marginal gain by waiting (and you could be there a while) for a second hand set to come up. Can get them delivered to your door within 2 days from Italy, great service from suppliers typically.
Has anyone fitted these yet? My last bembo purchase was for the RCS master cylinder but I am still not 100% happy with the brakes. My other bikes are better, so ordered the M4 Calipers. The 07 blade lists as a 320mm brake disc which the calipers look to suit... and I can't find a bike speciifc spacer kit but I guess I will know when they turn up but was hoping to bolt them straight on...
I've used Brembo m4 calipers in a k9 gixxer thou with an RCS m/c. Stopped on a sixpence BUT I've also used 2014 tokico blade calipers on a k5 gixxer thou with an RCS m/c and the difference was very little. So for my money I would stick with standard calipers. However it's your money so do what you think is best for you, either way you'll stop well.
