Brake Calipers

Now then folks,

quick question...are the bake calipers off the 990 Superduke and Superduke R the same...apart from the colour of course?

I've been offered a pair to swap for mine (mine a standard 07 superduke) and i just wondered if it was only the colour thats different.

Let's see ....

Standard '07 calipers
62513115000 BRAKE CALIPER RADIAL L/S | 07 $211.59
62513116000 BRAKE CALIPER RADIAL R/S 07 | 07 $208.85

Standard '08 calipers
62513115000 BRAKE CALIPER RADIAL L/S | 07 $211.59
62513116000 BRAKE CALIPER RADIAL R/S 07 | 07 $208.85

SDR 2008
6251311500030 BRAKE CALIPER RAD. L/S BLK07
6251311600030 BRAKE CALIPER RAD. R/S BLACK07

mmm, i'm assuming the 30 on the end of the part number suggest they're black rather than silver and other than that they're the same...

I'm not totally convinced they'll look good to be honest as my fork lowers are silver so they may look out of place, plus he hasn't got the rear caliper so it'd be mis-matched

I have some Brembo monobloc M4s on mine and they are different. But I don't really know if they are better or not? So much down to tyres, road surface and arm strength under braking forces!

Cool thanks for the info guys. Think I'll give them a miss...i know mine are in great condition, no sticky pistons leaks, dodgy bleed nipples or anything

Thanks again
