Good read

Are these the non M4 Monoblocks? They appear to be.

If so good choice, have run them on a couple of bikes and been super pleased, not as harsh as the M4s.

You are correct, I actually was trying to pick up a set of m4's but someone snatched them up before I did. These are the stock calipers off of gsxr 600 or 750 from 2011-2016.

Thanks guys! I will probably mock them up on the bike after being painted tonight and see how they look. So far I'm stoked on how it turned out!

Started pulling the bike apart for motor upgrades so I figured I'd post up some pics! Rotors are pulled and getting sanded down to paint the centers black, Calipers are on a 7 day wait until I can clear coat them then another 7 days to dry after that so they won't be on for a while.

If anybody's interested I'll be posting my Andrews 54H cams up in the marketplace!

They ended up fitting my hands perfectly, i think I cut a little over an inch off of each. Pretty stoked on how they turned out and feel.

Called fuelmoto today and they confirmed what I have been thinking. I will be bumping the compression to 11:1 with S&S heads as well as changing the cam to a Woods TW-999-6 as well as a Royal T Racing 2-1 pipe to top it all off. Shooting for the 115-120 hp range for next year. I will be setting up a dyno appointment with fuelmoto shortly so they can tune it once I get all the parts and put it back together.
