Thanks to GS500Schultz, I now have a 6 piston caliper front brake upgrade.


I appreciate the help, I mean, thanks for DOING the install. Such an improvement, I could tell the difference even in rush hour stop-and-go traffic home.


PICS!!!











And it just so happens that he has an OEM Tokico brake caliper for sale too...

It looks impressive but I have always felt that my front brake was excellent as it came new. I have left it alone except for making sure that the rotor is kept clean.
My rear brake was always noisy and dead until I changed the pads. It transformed the feel, performance and noise level. It is brilliant.

Riding 2-up with loaded saddlebags, I had a recent OMFG moment. Seemed like you can never have enough brake after that.

Always glad to hear you like the upgrade! Should help out quite a bit with two up touring!

I'm always willing to help a fellow rider out and I'm not gunna lie your windscreen make me jealous! pretty sure I'm going to get one. 

Looks like your bike could use a bath.  Splash a little toilet water on that on your way to Carl's Jr!


Brakes look amazing!  Seems a little overkill, though.  The stock front does seem a little lackluster when riding 2-up, but 99% of my riding is done solo and I've never felt like I needed more brake in front.

It definitely needs a bath. Got the Brawndo ready to go...

I actually hadn't noticed until I posted the pictures. I went out and did a little cleaning right after I posted this. It was a bit embarrassing. 

When the weather is nice enough to wash it, I'd rather be riding it!

I love my brake caliper too... Except for the fact that the caliper Pistons were sticking and I really only had 1.5 Pistons working. So I'm doing a rebuild and sent the caliper body to Adam so he can powder it for me. I'm ready for a full setup to work! I got the 4 piston because I didn't think I needed 6 Pistons but we'll see!
