has anyone got that chart that showed the different piston sizes and which bike had what calipers, dam photobucket to hell
Most of us have now run into the dreaded photobucket broken link image

The good news is, as long as the image uploader has not deleted or moved the image location from photobucket it is still viewable by all.
And depending on your computer settings, once viewed directly may actually load in the browser as "normal" once you relaod the page, though that has been hit or miss for me.
So if you see the PB broken link 3rd party hosting image, grab the image URL, past it in a new window and it should be viewable.

I was bidding on the 6-pot Billet calipers on fleabay but they went to rich for me. Back to searching for 'Blade/SP1/CBR calipers.
I was watching them. I appreciate there aren't many around but it just seemed like a lot of money.

Especially when Honda alternatives come up for less than half what they went for and I saw Tokico 6-pots for forty quid yesterday.

i'm no expert, but I doubt tokico 6-pots are not even in the same ball park as billet 6-pots. oh and personally I wouldn't have bought any of those parts. most of them looked knackered and uncared for.

best bet is to buy them from the usa, look for a seller in a dry state. even with shipping and tax, they're still cheaper.
Tokico 6-pots do not have a very good reputation; in fact many owners of bikes having them as OEM bits replaced them with Nissin 4-pots from Hondas of the day...

Exactly, the reason you can find them cheap over here is no one that had them stock wanted them....I bought a set for $40 and sold them a few years later for $80 having rebuilt them completely ..

Cheers for the links AP and the feedback on Tokico calipers. I know they're not great but can't be £140 worse...
Anyway I'm following the 4-pot route as others have. Question. Which would folks go for, clean SP1s or rather messier 600F ones? The 600F ones are about half the price. SP CBR

How about SP2?
I have a good SP2 master cylinder for sale, all you need is the calipers......
Rc51 calipers from an SP2 should be easy enough to find.
the sp2 master is considered to be better than the sp1, as Honda reduced the size from 19 to 17.5, giving better feel, I used to run the complete sp2 setup and was more than happy with it...

I believe SP2 calipers are the same on early CBR600RR, and CBR954 for sure, there should some for sale.
