none of them just bolt on - you need brackets.
The 1997 blade ones are the same as std RVF ones - pointy edges and a flat face.
You want the ones with a stepped face

There are no brackets available to bolt 900rr or rvf400 calipers to nc30's.
Gold 03-04 cbr600rr or SP1/2calipers fit on with Rick Oliver's caliper brackets. You'll need longer brake lines than standard also.
