What I really like to have is a set of gold calipers for the front without spending a load and also the way the bike is braking there is no need to have Brembo's and all the other grear fitted...
I am willing to pay for a set which I can swap with the one's thats on the bike and still keep the same braided hoses and master cylinder.

any ideas on which one's will fit straigh on?

Dont Sp1 calipers bolt straight on?

There was also a guy selling some gold CBR 6 calipers as a direct bolt on. In both cases, Im sure the line and mc can still be retained

Yeah SP1 and earlier CBR600rr (non radial) bolt straight on.

Gold paint will be cheapest if you just want gold calipers...

I hear you with the gold paint ;) but I think for the time and effort it will take to remove, strip, clean and assemble I might just spend 60 or so quid and do the change over.

Do you mean the CBR/SP1 brakes or just the std NC30 gold calipers that you can get?

I can get some CBR600RR 03 caliper for about 60-70 quid, the bloke said they are the same one's that used on the SP1&2. So does that mean they will bolt straigh on?

Yeah, sorry, my prev post was being dumb - if you have an RVF then they should bolt straight on.

Can you get a pic?

yes I have an RVF, the 1st pics is the CBR600RR 03-04 and the 2nd is a Fireblade 00-02.

I did check on EBC's website and the Fireblade uses the same pads as the SP1, the 600 uses different one's to the SP1.

they are the same brakes though and will bolt straight onto the RVF fork bottoms.
