Hello all,
I've just had my calipers back for the blasters and they have made a right pigs ear of them.
They didn't bother masking any of the ports or the pot holes. As a result I think they are now unusable.
Can one out there give me a definitive list of what other bikes use the same calipers or what other calipers will bolt straight on.
Cheers,
Jim

Off the top of my head;
Early zx9 uses the same fronts as do ZXr400 H model (Later L is different) I think the ZZR 600 also uses them.
The rear is the same as an RGV.

Got myself some more calipers yesterday.
Today I set about stripping them. I had bit of trouble getting the pots out.
I got some heavy duty paint stripper and I cleaned them up using a small Dremmel wire brush.
Only took a couple of hours to get them to this state.
Does anyone know if a couple of layers of Hammerite and Lacker will do the trick?

You Can get special caliper paints from halfords - all sorts of colours as the Max power boyos use them don't know how good they are though!
