    No you can get the cheap 70.00 eBay mount (that I cant seem to find its on another one of my posts somewhere as an eBay link :( will keep looking) and fit an OE Brembo caliper from a 1098 etc or any HPK caliper that is 84mm mounting the same goes for the CZ mount and the Brembo Kit mount (I say kit as it norm comes with the HPK caliper kit) or you can ask Mike at FP racing USA for the Rene/FP mount that is the same as what I had on mine before for around 150.00 inc line relocates the OEM caliper looks clean and should help with wheel changes if you dont have chain adjusters like me....lol I will find the old Brembo link..

    Yup there are times the rear brake is better than the front .. I had a one off hanger on the Bandit with a Brembo and I came proficient at backing it in ... great fun

    That 70 squid hanger is from China / Tiawan then sold from the States ... didn't fancy it really

    Ooooo professional pics ehh ... what gives .. do tell

    I took an ABS blade down my dirt track once and tried to lockup both front and rear, even on dusty gravel dirt lane it worked 100% spot on!

    But if I'm not mistaken, it's a combined braking system so activating the rear will also apply pressure to the front brakes.

    Also, fitted my rearsets after the Pre Xmas crash and was playing around with the nuts on the bottom of the rear MC and I do believe it's made an improvement.. Will work further into it but certainly for Gilles sufferers it's better.

    mine on the 07 is garbage but just had the HEL race brake lines delivered so hoping for some improvement - might order some carbone lorraines to go with the brake lines and make all shiny and new ;)
