I fitted a radial master cylinder to mine which gives brillant feel to the brakes

Its one from moto46 IIRC. It a copy of the brembo radial master cylinder for less than half the price. Works wonders.

I use PFM discs and KR1S calipers. The brakes are just awrsome and I can stand her on the front wheel at will.

If I'm remembering this correctly, the SP1 & 2 used the same calipers as the fireblade, 62mm mounting points so, quite possibly yeah they may fit.

Dunno if I'd want to pay that to find out, I can think of a few ways to stick newer/better calipers on. Top pose, like, and I know of one KR that's having some Brembos fitted, dunno if anyone will get to see them...cough wakasaki...cough....cough :lol:
