Anyone Familiar With Grimeca Brakes?
16 Apr 2010 21:02
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
