Shweet, Lucass2T! Seems like you only need the mounting adapter!  I think that's the exact caliper I need too. What is that one?? |

Yeah, if I'm gonna pay for all radial, why not go all the way? haha I think these are cast...  |

Radial calipers are only better over axial when you mount them directly to the fork...
A lot of ppl need a special bracket to be able to mount a radial caliper, but that undermines the whole idea of a radial caliper.

If you want to upgrade, start with the Master cylinder.
THe shitty 11-12mm that come originally feel like rubber. then move down.
My 2 piston Galfer is solid as a brick.
You dont want to have to much surface compared to disk

Exactly! Because it doesn't matter what adapter bracket you get, it still will be mounted axially on the original mounting points!
haha. yeah, some ppl don't realize this

yes, would be ideal, but I don't know where I would mount the right mirror because the brake housing is an integrated unit with the master, and that the GTS has the handlebar cowling that has a specific place for the mirror to poke oot of... I'm sure it could be done, but I would have to do some mody'ing, or figure something else oot.... heh

I've got the stock 1 piston caliper and squeaky rear drum.. I do have a shiny stainless braided brake line on the front though. (It was the same price as a slightly longer rubber one which I needed, so..) I've got a motorcycle master and clutch levers in the mail to hopefully use in place of the crappy small stock levers.
Cool! hope that works out for you. fitment, and master cylinder type with mirror attachment holes are my problem...
make sure to post a pic of pre and post!
Did em today. Went pretty well. Right side with the disk brake went right on and I spent about 2 minutes bleeding the system and filled the master cyl. Then the left drum brake had to have the rear arm thingamajigger adjusted so that took longer. Forgot to put one of each set of mirrors I have on to see which looks better. (One chrome set and one black set that I think would look better, but has a small crack in the mirror.)   (Old pic from when I got the brake line.) I didn't get to test them on the road since my variator nut is still MIA and haven't gotten the new one yet.. |

I thought that you were talking about the et2. There's Brembo's for the 300. Hell, here's a video of a guy installing them.

Cool, thanks, spaz! Yeah, I think that guy is using the Monster 900/750 Brembo calipers on the stock master. foond oot you could get a used caliper ($76), and a CNC mounting adapter($88) for the Brembo, and it would be pretty much a "bolt-on" item. May need more mounting hardware though... now, I have to figure oot if there's a better master cyclinder that's a bolt-on... |
