Hmmm, Duc 848 might work.... anyone know if the mounting bolt spacing is "standardized" ?

Have a look at some of the Triumph ones. Thanks I have been.. Wife works at a Triumph dealer.. so it was one of the first that came to mind... Darn things must be made of gold, or at least priced that way, new and used. and the Tiger1050 rear caliper I was looking at... the bleeder is on the bottom...

Which begs the question.... what bike to source a good used rear caliper from? preferable one that has the same mounting pattern as the Nissin on the VTR

Lloydie, I have an underslung one on mine and it doesn't get in the way of the stands I use.. Will add a picture tomorrow so you can see if you like? Heck yes.. please do post pics and ID any of the parts used (caliper, lines, ect)... I'm assuming you made the bracket.... if by chance you have that...

Underslung= lower c of g.
Whyever not?

Above or below, the caliper will be forward of the axle. so thats a wash I think.

And yes, below the axle intuitively makes sense that it would be better for lower CG

The VTR1000F caliper is mounted above the rear axle and slightly forward http://www.superhawkforum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=16459&stc=1&d=1387123605 With the impending swing arm MOD I have coming up (900r brace) and the need to address the caliber bracket swing arm mount as par...

sorry to hear your news buddy, looks like it turned out ok except for the excess. have you got protected no claims, not sure its called that in the usa tho. maybe you should hunt out a 19ltr tank from europe... :thumbup: I ran this though Google translator, and it came back ... "Error, No US t...

I realize you said no fairing trim.. but just as another option. I used VFR800 clip ons for a year,,, had to trim fairing a bit to make um work right (full turn, no hitting the fairing) Trimming was done with an abrasive disk in a air motor..Painters tape laid on, markings made, trim. Worked very we...

Fairing stay and left fairing came in.. right fairing went on back order the day I ordered it.. BUT an interesting thing.. the parts manager did some checking... more right side fairings are set for "release" on the 29th of June. In other words there are still factory parts available at th...

And the bad news is, the recommended paint shop wants almost $500 to strip, repair the small dent (no filler) prime, paint, decal, clear coat this tank. Used tanks are $250-350 shipped and come with flaws (minor, .. not bad for a 10-14 year old tank, but there none the less) New tank is $580.23 out ...

Insurance agent just called....Supplemental claim for the bent fairing stay.........................................approved.. Check just went in the mail this morning....
