Caliper upgrade w/wire wheels??
I want to upgrade my front caliper, but there doesn't seem to be any out there that will fit a 2010 with spoke wheels.
I already upgraded to Lyndall Racing Brakes Z+ pads and Magnum Black Pearl brake line, and my brakes still suck.
Anyone know of any?

Get a left side front caliper from an xr1200x. It's four piston caliper (stock is two pistons) and it's a direct bolt on and will improve your braking. Search the forum, there are some members here that have done just that. I'm contemplating doing it myself.

so it'll depend on the diameter of your wheel. You did not
specify what it has. If it's a 21", the XR caliper wont work,
its too thick. You'll have to use a Brembo caliper from a
touring bike. The brembo's are cheap on ebay since they're
takeoffs from folks switching to the chrome version.
hope this helps,
T.
