KZ1000 Brake Upgrades?

First let me say I try the search option but maybe I was doing it wrong.

I was looking in the possibility of mounting better calipers and master cylinder for the KZ1000.

Any one ever try mounting ZRX1200R 6 piston Calipers on the KZ1000 forks???

If not, is there a direct 4 piston caliper that may be close to a direct bolt on?

I know the master cylinder probably will not be an issue... But I am looking to hear from those that have do it...

Thanks in advance. Luis

These belong to BOZO from Perth , one of my favorite brake conversions on stock forks. Look him up

Search under brakes,for author put the fish(hes a member here.
For date put any

Heres a KZ 900 (1976) dual 6 piston, 310mm disc kit that I made. Check my other post as I have made a few big brake kits for the KZ 900. I havent found any drect "bolt on" big brake kits (with out brackets/spacers/etc) for any older forks that I work with.

Errr :blink: , I think the pic is of a set of fork tubes laying down with 2 calipers... ....my eyesight isn't what it used to be either. :laugh:

The pic shows the big brake kit on 1976 KZ 900 front forks. The forks are mounted in a bench vise. Mounting the forks in a vise puts the wheel/fork assembly at an easier level to work on.

Here's a photobucket link with some kits that I have made. There's a few KZ 900 brake kits in there

Yeah ya oughta see the size of the fork tubes! :sick: :woohoo:

its doable but not easy better have mag wheels for clearance issues, these are concours 1000 forks but use same mounting points as 650-1000"s

Wayne[/quote] THE CONCOURS FORKS ARE WAY BEEFIER 41MM VS 36MM THERE ALSO SET WIDER APART SO I HAD ROOM TO SPACE THE ROTORS AWAY FROM THE HUB VERY IMPORTANT WHEN USING SPOKES. HAD TOO SPACE THE SPEEDO DRIVE OUT TOO SO IT WOULD CLEAR. THE FORKS ARE OFF A 86 CONCOURS SO IS THE LOWER TRIPLE TREE
