I'm one of those people that requested his pics, so leave him alone. Why does anyone do anything? Because they want to.
Thanks for the pics, Tahoe.

ok...for me...personally,
i hated everything about the stock F4i MC...looks, ease of service, feel, etc...it just so happens that since i bleed my brakes quite often, the screws started to strip (it's hard to find the exact fitting screwdriver, the one that comes with the bike is the perfect fit)...until it was all buggered up. so instead of messing with more screws, i decided to replace the entire MC. wanted brembo and radial type, couldn't afford it, so started to look into others...found some dude that swapped a gixxer MC, so thought i'd give it a shot. he said the feel is 'better', etc...
so i did it, much easier to deal with than the stocker as far as ease of service. also comes with a bleeder screw up top. as for over braking distance, it seems the same, however, the brake feel is much improved over stock. i can feel what the brakes are doing, etc.
this covers it all!!! who, what, why, when, where, how, etc.!

I''m back to thinking of a brake upgrade. I haven''t checked yet, but my lever goes waaaay to far....AGAIN. Either time to bleed AGAIN or new pads AGAIN.
At any rate, I''m wondering if I go this route GSXR will by Galfer lines bolt right up or will I need an adapter or anything. They''re the banjo type.
Also, there''s a thread that I''m searching for that also talked about swapping for r6/r1 parts. I want to know how much of each bikes components will be direct bolt-on, that way I can sell my setup with speedbleeders already configured if someone wants it.

I believe most MC''s will physically fit but the electric connector for the brake light is different from bike to bike. I know that 954/929/F4i MC''s, calipers, and lines are all interchangeable. I bought f4i SS lines and they fit into my 954 MC.

That''s a consideration, but a little splicing will take care of that.

929''s stoppie well. It''s probably you, but I''d recommend you head to the stunters corner.

Wanted to dig the thread back to life.
Tahoe, Can the F4i brake light switch wires be directly connected to the GSXR MC or is there any mods required for that? Also, Will the banjo bolt from the F4i MC thread into the GSXR MC so I can use my SS lines and all same hardware still?

I''m curious, in the photos you have the ram air duct covers off... are there any clearance issues there with the GSXR hardware? Also, the reservoir. Does it rub against the uppper fairing when turning lock to lock?
cheers

Okay, I put a GSXR 600 MC on my F4i. I had already gotten the SS lines from Galfer so it was a bit of a chore (The banjo bolt on the F4i comes out on its side like this -) The banjo bolt on the GSXR comes out pointing down. What I had to do is take my lines to a bike shop that makes their own lines and have them swap out the ends for 90 degree angle ends. Also, the length of the lines and the routing changes with the MC upgrade so if you do not shorten the lines when you get the 90''s put on, you may have a lot of slack. I had a terrible feeling in my brakes, i replaced the rotors and it did not seem to help. I ended up putting the GSXR MC on and it felt better.
One problem I had was the switch for the brake light. I screwed right into the bottom of the lever, but the person I bought it from shaved the tang off that actuates the switch, so my front brake doesnt activate my brake light. I have to get a stock lever and swap them out and then Im pretty sure the F4i switch will work on the GSXR MC
To mount my reservior i bent the bracket that it came with (Aluminum) flipped it around and bolted it to the right side upper fork clamp. it worked out pretty nicely. It also gave me a place to put my "Office Space" "Work Sucks" wristband that my friend got me for a gift years ago.

Thanks for your input. I dont want to mess with having my lines altered so I guess I''ll keep looking around or just buy a rebuild kit for my stock MC

Go with a 929/954 MC. Straight bolt up and no meddling with the switch.
