well i have desided that the stock gs brake is well crap and im thinking abut putting some thing else on i looked at the gsx-1000/750/600 and they all go on a diffrent way how ever the busa brake goes on in the same way i will just need to make a plate up for it to fit on whichi can do at work would i be the first person on the board to do this? and im also thinking about putting a r1 shock on dose any 1 no any where besides ebay wherei could get these cheap
thank you
"Looks crap" and "is crap" are two different things.
Double discs are for woosies who can't grab the handle strong enough :)
no i would still have a single disc just 1 busa front brake and a stanless brake lines think about it
Wouldn't it be easier to buy an EBC disc & EBC pads & fit those, along with a braided steel brake line?

I think we've got something here :thumb: :thumb:
i have got those pads. and let me tell you, my nuts hurt.
i dotn think the rotor will last if i keep up what i am doing but damn, the only thing holding back stoping is the tire.
did it 5 yrs ago to a bandit 400 front end
i think pablos' site has a link to a 4 pot nissan conversion from a honda
SS front lines and a hayabusa caliper will only go so far. I'd do a front wheel swap and get two discs
A steel wrapped line and good race pads in the stock caliper are good enough to stoppie a GS. That is the maximum braking you can put in. Haveing more and/or bigger brake surface only helps disappate heat better and the pads don't wear out as fast, but only on the race track pace.
On the street, having "bigger" brakes is a waste of time/money unless you are just doing it for looks. Just do SS lines and good pads. Save your money for suspension work...
SS lines ar pretty expensive in shops. Can i use some normal ones that are used in houses for water? Those are realy cheaper.
DO NOT use anything other than hoses and unions designed to be used in hydraulic braking systems. Those braided hoses you are talking about will not be able to cope with the pressures generated in the braking system.
Whats so crap about the stock brake?

Rubber lines will expand when under pressure so some of the force to the caliper is lost. Braided lines provide a solid feel and better feedback where stock lines feel mushy.
I know about the brake lines, I've even replaced my front line with a braided one.
But to just say that the brakes are crap & I'm going to put a Hirebus disc & caliper on is rubbish. There is no explanation as to why the brakes are crap or what type of riding he wants the brake setup for.
BTW this is for a 2006 model bike :dunno_white:
You did not specify what part of the brake system.
As for the caliper, it is a single sided dual piston. The Busa caliper is double sided with 6 pistons total.
if you can feel that, you a little too picky on the Gs
Bubba?
Thats just Deathlucky, get used to him mate. Today its a twin disc conversion. In a day or so he will want to know about something else and say he going to do another mod. He has asked about exhausts, tyres, jetting, clutches, airfilters, rear suspension, brake pads, fork replacements, progressive springs, replacement rear shocks etc etc. There is really not much else left, unless he wants one of those brighter headlamp bulbs.
Guess you're right sledge.
Bloody kids these days. :dunno_white:
Meh, he's just getting a feel for the possibilities.
Yeah occassionally it's annoying, but hey, I'm sure we've all asked dumb questions.
Yeah Deathlucky, the Busa's front is pretty sweet, but there's not really a reason to upgrade.
First, I promise you it would be a hassle. Second there's already enough power up front to lock the tire, anything more is just gratutious.
See I bet no one else even mentioned why it's not that great of an idea, they all just said it was dumb. (Wait I lied, JamesG said it)
Domas, I really hope you are joking. To explain, hydraulic systems (such as brakes) produce INCREDIBLY high pressure. Water lines in houses produce, what about 20 psi? Quite simply those would be NOWHERE near strong enough.
AND... brake fluid will attack and eat most types of plastic...
If you want a 'busa front brake, why not just buy a 'busa?
