Anyone Familiar With Grimeca Brakes? was created by 79MKII
Hello All

I'm considering a brake swap and really like the Grimeca calipers that I've seen on a lot of drag bikes. Is anyone familiar with what will work and what won't on a KZ1000?

I'd like to bolt on new calipers on the front and run them with my stock forks and brake rotors. Do they make a bracket and caliper that will work with stock components?

I would also consider buying 2 new rotors along with the new calipers and brackets if they would bolt on with my stock forks and wheels.

Anyone done this conversion?

Thanks

Not with the Grimeca calipers, but with newer, lighter weight sport bike components on the 1976 KZ 900 A-4 front end.

Some other kits I have made in the past.
