I've gone from 6 pots to 4 pots, what a difference to my braking this has made
from this:
to these:
Ok, second hand off the 'Bay' listed as 96 Srad calipers, but I reckon they're actually off a 92 WP. I've also added some new Passo 'style' Chinese copy shorty brake and clutch levers, all together it makes the brakes stronger and more immediate.
Its a recognised upgrade, I'd tried to retain the original calipers for as long as possible but having to fully service and replace seals every few years got too tiresome. That's me braking happy .

So me offering you some geniune pads out of the Hayabusa isn't going to be much good to you now.

The Nissin 4 pot upgrade is one that is really good to do,
As is a later radial master cylender.
We did this upgrade on krystals track zx636 and thereally night and day better!!!
Also the calipers are still fitted to some modern triumphs and can get uprated pads easily.

Not unless one will fit the X7 - two of the pistons might grab the disc, 4 will miss!!
