Default 13" rotor question
Ordering rims tomorrow with a 13" rotor. I would like to know if I can use my stock Brembo caliper until I buy a 6 piston caliper?
Will the stock caliper work or is it a must that I have to have a 6 piston caliper?

Well damn I guess I'll just buy the caliper instead of an adapter. It's always something. Thanks for the info guys.

wish I knew about the adapter before I spent $250 to swap to dual discs plus the cost of polished rotors.

live & learn.

no, I bought a 21" wheel from stupid_rope, it went to Coastal moto & I had them install an ABS bearing and setup for dual disc (11.8")

So I bought 2 new 11.8 disc & the dual hub setup.

I should have 1 13" disc when the wheel arrives next week.

I gotta say Jeff @ coastal moto was excellent to deal with, AWESOME customer service.
