Nissin CBR Honda brake caliper upgrade How to DIY
I bought a complete set of Honda CBR F4i front brakes for just $20!
That included everything, the calipers, Master cylinder, all brake lines, pads, and even the lever at the m/c.
I wound up combining them with the stock ZX6E brake lines, master cylinder and brake lever. Was just a little easier that way to install.
Took some grinding on the fork tubes with a file in two places on each one, plus filing down the Nissin calipers themselves in one spot and removing several nickel thicknesses there, and I also had to deal with the different bolt in sizes.
I opted to tap out the Nissin caliper holes and use the stock ZX6E brake bolts to their tubes. This way is safer I believe and also I can swap back to a stock setup quickly in a pinch. No shouldered bolts for me.
I borrowed a friend’s M10 1.25 pitch tap and that did the trick.
