    I have brembo calipers they are awsome see the 07 photos, 1098 calipers will not fit as 100mm most Jap bikes are 108mm.

    They are 108mm spacing mate, there are few OEM Brembo calipers that run 108mm so your looking at HPK kit tbh. New Suzukis run 100mm Brembo as far as I know so they are odd ball for jap bike, near all European bikes run 100mm.

    Keep an eye on eBay some deals on second hand M4s that's what you want if you want to mimic 1098 calipers etc or HPK calipers but expensive, they all run with stock discs or you could run brembo discs too... What you after?

    Some nice stuff on eBay, don't forget PFM they make some awsome calipers and disc kits!

    Here's my GP4 calipers, Brembo T Drive 5mm discs, Brembo 19x18-20 RCS masters and Hel UK likes... :)

    really , really like the rear caliper but won't part with the cash to tight ;) probably go with the Fp racing mount for a gold standard caliper or could get it hard anodized. Looking at getting dry breaks for the lines as well. Must stop i'm overdosing on bling :D

    Haha, think all on here suffer the same performance bling thing! I did question dry brake lines but asked myself how many times have I ever need to disconnect my calipers tbh if I do then I'm always happy to flush and rebeed anyway, however a rear dry brake is tempting, problem is Hel dry brake lines are around 200 each line last time I looked! But hey it's only money right.......and no I'm not rich......lol

    Lol, yeah you've got some nice stuff in mind, I know where there is a pair of BSTs for 08 blade cant remember the offset etc but if your looking at gas forks then you only have to sort some spacers... PM Zeepony if your interested the rear is brand new and the front is low miles mint, the old rear had soft clear coat so was replaced, I have BSTs on my 848 they are stunning and awsome wheels! The best!
