Hi all,
In the process of fitting a ZXR 250A front end to my KR-1S, i would like to go for better brakes, other than using the ZXR ones, or KR1 calipers.
I am fitting a full front end from a ZXR:
Yokes
Forks
Front Wheel
And all the other bits that go with it.
Does anybody have any ideas what other calipers will fit?
Many thanks, Tony
Other ZXR 250A front end swap brake callipers?

You -won't find many calipers better than the originals, Big K stuck them on the ZX9R and if they are capable of pulling one of those beasts to a halt they are more than capable of pulling a KR1 to a stop.
I would just refurbish them and look at some decent fluid (halfords 5:1 is very good and cheap) and maybe refurbish or replace the master cylinder.

I'm not 100%, but I've never come across 4 pots that have the same bolt spacing as KR1/zxr250 calipers.
If you really wanted I'm sure you could get some bespoke brakets made up to fit whatever you wanted. Personally I think I'd spend the money on the KR1/ZXR calipers, I'vejust refurbed another set for my next project , new seals, pads, hel stainless bleed nipples and powdercoated bodies, I had the same on my KR, now on Alimorgs bike and always found them perfectly capable.
So it's that or phone NK racing and get waiting
