CBR6/Fireblade caliper conversion questions

Post by dx400r »

My CBR6 RR3 calipers have just landed :D. I dont have the matching Front Master Cylinder.

Anyone have experience of using them with the standard NC30 front master cylinder?

Thanks in advance,

Yes..and it was not very nice. Very squidgy and lots of lever travel but stupendous power when the lever finally got solid as it crushed my fingers..

I was not happy with it at all and got a fireblade m/c and lever for a tenner.... Miles better, soid lever, uber feel and power to spare.

Wouldn't use the bigger calipers without the correct m/c, especially as you can get them cheap enough..

Good to hear this from the horse mouth. I figured it might be slightly dodgy... just didnt know how dodgy :lol:

Bagged a blade M/C for 40ish quid. Lucky getting your blade one as cheap as that ;)

Thanks for the advice. Now to go see a man about some discs :twisted:
