eastendpete Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 what bikes use 108mm spacing radial calipers as standard? cant find the info im after.
David W Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 Be careful. I can't remember which way around it is, but the Brembo pukka race calipers use 100mm spacing and the road calipers like the Mille has are 108mm.
eastendpete Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Posted February 2, 2009 so rsv,s use 108mm, thats what im looking for, what productiuon bikes use/have 108mm radials
David W Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 I'm think that the other roadbikes with Tokico and Nissin radials have 108mm spacing too? Don't take that as gospel though. Might be worth creeping round a bike dealers with a set of verniers.

Evilchicken0 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 Brembo race are 108mm and road are 100mm mounting, but the race ones are NARROW track discs http://www.iane.co.uk/brembo_RACING%20FRON...20CALIPERS.html
will#224 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 Generally the Italian stuff is 100mm the jap stuff is 108mm. If you fancy some trick none brembo calipers take a look at ABM
eastendpete Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Posted February 2, 2009 i want to try and avoid brembo, thats why i was wondering about standard equipment tokicos or nissins etc, thanks though for replying, i thought they might be narrow track.
2639 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 GSXR 1000 K5/6 are 108 too. As they swop with R1 5vy calipers (I did this last Sept). Can recommend the R1 calipers, seen some serious kit that retained the stock R1 calipers. Gsxr calipers on the other hand have a poor reputation from some people. Although whether its was the calipers or another aspect of the braking system was never properly established... ho hum. More shinyness, less thought. A friend has swopped c model zx10 with 04 blade, so 108mm centres might be a standard. NB: not all bolts are the same length. Your home may be at risk if your calipers fall off and you croak. If you do croak, it wuznee me.
2moto Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 Yes, every Japanese bike with radial calipers have 108mm bolt spacing, as do Brembo race radial calipers. Ducati use 100mm bolt spacing and maybe Aprilia too. Be careful, though, not all Japanese calipers are interchangeable, even if the same brand, e.g. Tokico. Some have difference offsets and especially different length standoffs from the fork mounts.
Number 6 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 I've teamed R1 calipers with GSXR forks, they can be had fairly cheap and are monoblock construction. As far as I know none of the Jap firms use 100mm spacing, could be wrong tho' wouldn't be the first time.
