FRONT CALIPERS.....
« on: May 12, 2008, 03:46:53 PM »
I SAW A BANDIT FOR SALE ON EBAY THE OTHER DAY AND THE SELLER SAID THAT THEY CHANGED THE FRONT CALIPERS AND RESERVIOR FOR A SET FROM A KAWASAKI ZX10R.....

ANYBODY KNOW IF THIS IS A DIRECT FIT AND IF THIS HAS ANY REAL BENEFIT IN BRAKING ABILITY FOR THE BANDIT.....

THANKS.....

Hmmm... that's a very difficult swap without changing the front forks, since the ZX10R has radial calipers and the Bandit's forks have no easy provision for that style of calipers.

I have heard of ZX9R & ZX12R calipers being used on the B12 and this is an easy swap.  Kind of useless on a 2G B12 since they are the same calipers... the only difference is the Kawi ones are painted gold instead of black.
