I finally got around to upgrading the front brakes on the King...I used a pair of 4 pot calipers from a Yamaha XJR1200. I made the brackets out of 8mm steel plate then had them chromed...so far they are a big improvement for the $85.00 invested...oh and a few hours in the workshop.

 

Nicely done.

I'm trying to decide if I should go that route or spend a few more bux on a wilwood. One way or another, upgrading my front brake is priority #1 on my list.

 

You do some nice fab work there Kees.
How'd that caravan project ever turn out ?

 

Cheers...caravan all but finished..inside is complete new cabinetry, wiring and lights etc... and outside body work finished ready for paint...I'm waiting for my son to paint it.

 

Looks great, just as expected.

 

What size is that brake rotor? It looks kind of big, which is a good thing of course.

 

It's standard size ..

 

Have you thought about stainless Steele braided brake lines? Not for looks, but for performance due to the stainless braided lines not expanding like the regular rubber ones do?

 

Yeah I'm going to upgrade the lines soon..just had to make sure all worked before changing them.
