08 600RR - 08 1000RR brake swap!!! need second opinion!! - 6/27/2008 8:55:11 PM    fireboi660   Posts: 6 Joined: 6/27/2008 Status: offline Came across a set of calipers and rotors from a wrecked 08 1000RR. they bolted right up. 1000RR Has lightened, 10mm larger rotors and unlike my 600, the calipers are one piece instead of two. I think it is an awesome mod. whats your opinion??? Post #: 1

Ive put about 200 miles on since the swap and I''m finding that the brakes don''t have the initial grab like the original, but they are way more consistent and a lot smoother. I haven''t been to the track with them yet to see for sure. there''s a few things that I''m concerned about. 1- the rotors stick out a little bit past the edge of the tire, unlike the stock 2-the 1000RR offset on the rotors is about 10mm more than stock, so the inner 2 pistons are out that much more than the outer pistons.

It''s always good to know what your options are. Thanks for sharing the info! _____________________________ "When I die, I want to die like my grandfather–who died peacefully in his sleep.
