ive never had a squirrel run out in front of me on a 1/4 or 1/8 mile track! :woohoo:
when youre rolling down the interstate at 75 and somebody in front of you suddenly does something stupid and you need to get to 30mph,yeah all the brakes you can lay your hands on are a nice thing to have! :laugh:

im all for good brakes

I found and new aftermarket 14mm on ebay for 80 bucks that should work, includes lever and switch .... not bad

I just laughed out loud that this ^^

Anyway, does anyone on here have experience with AP Racing products? I'm eying up their "classic" calipers and MCs, I really like the look and I'm sure I'd get incredible stopping power (more than my tire is capable of); but I don't know if they'd clear my spokes, what sort of disc options I'd have or where to get the right brackets to work with my KZ lowers.

i dont think their 2 piston caliper on that page would clear wire wheels

yea that inside piston looks a bit too thich for wire wheels IMO

I have 2 KZ1000 rotors, a '96 GPZ (5/ master cylinder (recommend rebuild, but decent shape), a dual disc splitter, and a right side GPZ750 caliper available for a very reasonable price. Was on an '80 KZ750G and I decided to stay with my single disc setup on the Z1. PM me if interested.

I've ridden a Z1 with double disk, and actually prefer the single disk setup. Cosmetically the double disk gives a nice balanced look, but I didn't like the increased shock coming up through the bars.

The double disk setup will give a little more stability to the front wheel - the centrifical weight will help keep it pointed forwards - and reduce the likelyhood of wheelies...

The first time I saw the discs I about freaked! Those things are bulletproof!!!

If you can find H1/H2 calipers they will work also.
