Title: ummmm CBR maybe
Post by: spc on May 10, 2007, 11:10:32 AM
So when I bought my FE I was told it was off a Gixxer and I never though to question it.  Well I decided I should probably find out something exact seeing as I need new brake pads.  After a little research I found out that they were more than likely off of a CBR :icon_confused: So I'm heading to the Honda place today :thumb:  Not that it makes a difference, I still love the feel of 2 discs and good suspension :thumb:  Anyone wants to check behind me fork Dia. 45mm  rotors are 320 near as I can guestimate ( caliper isn't that big) and their on a 5 bolt pattern no offset.  the Diameter is what set it off for me I couldn't find any Gixxers ever that have 45mm :icon_rolleyes:
