cbr rear breaks

[liv2rid]

Just ordered 09 cbr 1000 rear break caliper & master cylinder. Hope I can make it work lol

Hope you can make the BRAKE work.

They had good pics. I looked pretty carefully I think it will. If it does I'll have pics in a couple weeks. For $30 I have to try.

the problem i saw with most other streetbike calipers, besides the certain years gsxr's i use, is they use the stock bracket as a slide on one end of the pads, and others the slide pins screw into the stock, thick, aluminum bracket, and i saw no way to incorporate it.
tuned in to see what you come up with.


edit:
yep, it appears the cbr brake pads do indeed use the stock bracket as a slide for one end of the brake pads, and a slide pin for the other...........

I did just notice that. Guess I'll see if it will work next week

Wonder if I can weld on that tab?

the cbr bracket will be cast aluminum

I was thinking the top of the tab the arrows are pointing to. Add a hole there & put a pin through it from the new bracket

maybe ?

wish you'd have started this thread before you jumped into the fire, i coulda suggested calipers, or even sent you the 2 or 3 like that you ordered for free to experiment with.
i bought them cheap as a complete set, just for the master cylinder, the calipers are laying here and about ready to go for scrap aluminum

Wish I would have noticed before I ordered lol. But on the up side of I can't make it work the only thing I have to do is get a caliper.

 

[liv2rid]

What would you suggest?

Just got a caliper from my buddy. Not sure if it works but a rebuild kit is cheap. Now just to play the waiting game on the rest. I won't have more than $50 in the whole thing

 

[liv2rid]

Got my parts tonight hoping to get it together tomorrow

pics or you're lying

Lol I'll get them in the morning. Been laying tile all day. I can't move. What you think about oxy-ace welding on the frame? Don't have a mig anymore

 

[Herpderplol]

Only do it if you are very good at that type of welding...

otherwise find a friend with a welder

 

[liv2rid]

It's been a while. I was thinking it might make it weak. It's not the cleanest way to weld
