    I am sorry to cover old ground, and before anyone jumps on me, yes I have spent time searching the old threads.

    Ever since getting my SP last year, I have been intending to fit a Brembo rear caliper. I have even posted on the subject before.

    Anywhoo, it's going in for a service in a couple of weeks, and as I have wimped out on the idea of bleeding the full ABS system myself ( or trying to ), I am going to fit the goodies, and get the dealer to bleed it all.

    The question is: Is there a definitive answer to whether or not there is an off the shelf solution, and if so what are the part numbers ?

    Thanks in advance

    I don't think there is with std wheels there is if you have aftermarket wheels.
    Although when I tried to research this for myself it seemed with a little bit of fettling the bracket may be modded enough to give clearance, I wimped out and was waiting till after I fitted some different wheels but again events took over and my Repsol was sold .. Sorry it's not much help but it's as much as I know

    Being as no fecker generally uses the back brake in anger then a Brembo sticker will suffice! :p

    Surely somebody must have the answer, even if it's a straight no.

    My understanding is as follows:

    The Brembo underslung brake kit will not fit 08-11 wheels. I have read somewhere that it will just fit 12-15 wheels. That said I don't if it works well with abs.

    I just called the guys at Bike Torque Racing. They didn't have much to go on other that the blurb from Brembo that says they are for use with aftermarket wheels. I pointed out that there are photo's of them with standard wheels on here, but they couldn't comment.
    They did offer to sell me a set of OZ rims for £1,600 to go with the caliper.
    Why is nothing ever simple ?

    O yes it does. Search my pics for evidence. Brembo underslung bracket and Billet caliper. No binds no touches all good.

    I have also fitted a OEM Brembo caliper and non brembo underslung but it takes a lot if filling and slotting the caliper holes to my mates.

    Thanks for that, I knew I had seen it done.
    Do you know the part numbers you used ?

    It does but can't you use a shorter brake line running along the bottom of the swing arm ? Would look better IMO :)

    Brake line under the swingarm is 100x neater :)

    Is that your swing arm? nice with the HRC bits I have the same lifters on my SP2, my line runs up between the caliper bracket and swing arm and up the normal route. Horses for courses.

    I have tried the HPK underslung caliper and it does fit with the standard 2013 wheels, I think the pics that are mentioned earlier are the ones I posted.
    The clearance is very minimal though so really you takes your chance due to casting tolerances on the wheels
