Front Brake Upgrade
Got done this past weekend mounting 900RR 4 piston calipers to my F3 (stock 2 piston). I had already installed the 900RR master cylinder and steel braided lines....it helped a **** load, but I wanted more. I was given the whole brake setup of a 900RR so all it cost me was a couple bucks in steel. They work like a badass. It is not as jerkey as the stock calipers and bites better with less effort.

i take it you used the rotors off a 900rr on that f3 front rim right?
hmm....wonder if this could be adjusted for an f2...it has a funky front rotor and stuff so i just wonder.

900RR rotors are the same size as the F3....The F2 rotors are just a little smaller. I bet it would work if you switched to the F3 rim and F3/900RR rotors, although you would lose the speedo (as if you probably give a ****).

ya, the problem with the f2 rotor i was talking about was that its' a fixed rotor, not floating like the f3's. If i could get ahold of a decent 17" f3 rim, you think i'm going to put it on a stupid 600??? hell no man, i'm gonna put that **** right on my 900rr....HAHAHA
and, you made those brackets out of steel right? if i was you, i'd make them out of aluminum so they don't rust. I can get aluminum for you if you need it.

Is that a F2 rotor also??? I know that those are smaller than the F3/900RR rotors. Or did you cut back some F3 or 900RR rotors?
