It's F4 callipers you want & no they dont bolt straight on you need to remove some metal from either the lower fork bolt mount or from the calliper body.

or sp1 or sp2 calipers, also fireblade 1998 thru to 2003. as with the cb600f4i they'll need a little adjustment.

yes think it may have to be f4 as they seem easier to find, doesent matter shaving a bit off as they all look like they will need painting.
still unsure on which mc to use

Ive been learning a lot from the guys on here. A few in particular. The f4i m/c will be fine and will allow you to use your storm lever. I have sorted myself SP1 calipers and the f4i master.
If you don't try you never know if you can do it.
