CUSTOM FLOATING ROTOR FOR KZ650

Here is mine with bracket installed.

Looks good Wompy!

If you are using 1 caliper, you will probably need a tiny master cylinder as the twin 6 piston calipers use a 5/8 master cylinder. Look at the dirt bike master cylinders as they are usually smaller and for a single caliper. I've used 11 mm Magura's(usually on KTM's) on the single caliper kits I have made in the past. The Magura master cylinders usually have an adjustable lever and the adjustablity of the lever helps out alot (reguardless of the master cylinders make).

My next project will be AP Racing 6 pistons on a 81 Honda CBX front end for a business associate. The butt-ugly Comstar factory Honda mags often have the same-ish dimensions as the spoke wheels so this one may be "interesting". I'm waiting on the CBX wheel to arrive now.

Man they are some nice light-weight calipers!!

I finally got all the needed parts and supplies for the CBX 330mm / AP 6 piston caliper brake kit and got started on it.
Heres a slideshow of what is involved with making this particular kit up. It is the most involved kit I have made to date and the clearances are very tight. I will update the slide show with the caliper brackets and the complete kit when it is done (next week).

Hey fish, where do you get your 10mm x1.25 bolts?

I ended up shaving the heads down on the stock KZ bolts to clear the speedo drive.
I may be able to get some allen head (button heads). What length do you need(under the head)and how tall can the head be(for clearance)?

I did finish the AP 6 piston CBX kit a few weeks ago and added a few pictures to the slide show.
