new rear brake caliper

[Bogwopit]

Hi All,

 

I wonder if anyone has had any desire to upgrade the rear brake caliper on the V11, and if so, how?

I,ve picked up a four piston caliper off a 2001 Cali.EV and once the weather improves a little will have a look at fitting it.

 

Any useful pointers would be very gratefully received.

Todd @ GuzziTech asked if anyone was interested in that. Here is a link to the thread.

I don't see why you would do it, but if you do I would think it would require a different master cylinder to get the leverage ratio right. The lever travel with the stock master cylinder might be too long and/or not able to build enough pressure.

Thanks for the reply and the info.

 

Certainly given me something to think about.

and the Racer X version is still upside down, from what I remember, isn't it?

 

It's not needed in the UK, eh??? Maybe for descending a 10 mile 1 in 3 gradient.

 

The V11 calliper is like so much else of the V11 design. You just gotta live with it – and replace the burnt out calliper every now and again.
