Z1000 nissins onto sv650

[devojunior]

Hi i have a set of 2005 z1000 front nissin calipers and master cylinder fully rebuilt with brembo pads braided lines ect, i have made a bracket that fits them to mount to my curvey sv650.

now the brackets iv made look very industrial and tacky but iv stumbled across some on the svracingparts.com site that i can get to me for about 65-70 quid.

they state there for these model bikes.

Nissin CBR 600 F4 - F4i All Model Years, 2000 - 2001 CBR 929, 2002 - 2003 CBR 954, 2003 - 2004 CBR 600RR or Honda RC-52 2001 SP2 and up.

heres a link to the site of them aswell.

and heres mine.

so are they going to fit ?

You're going to have to find out the hole centres and see if they match first. Kawasaki as well as Suzuki used to use 90mm fixing centres for the Nissins, is that what you've got along with 62-63mm centres on your bike? You'd have thought they would have listed Kwak and Suzi Nissins as also compatible if they matched. Try and find out what the Honda bolt centres are then you'll know for certain no harm in asking the supplier for the size.

I have a 2001 CBR600f (F4i in the US).

Want me to measure my caliper bolt spacing?

They look rather similar to the gold calipers you have, but without the Torx head bolts.

Ah fair enough.

If you want me to photo/measure anything, let me know.

Without meaning to piss on your chips, I remember reading somewhere that the SV's forks weren't up to having more powerful brakes fitted; something about bending stanchions. I can't speak with any real authority on the subject, but I would advise having a read around, since other people have tried it before, with mixed success.

Drop a GSXR front end in? Seems to the be the most common way to decent stopping power.

If the Nissins will physically fit onto the SV fork legs, then there should be no problem if the disc rotors are the same size on both the donor bike and the SV - The contact area of the pads on the disc rotor should be the same. There may be other little issues to deal with though.
I recently put a pair of Nissins from a 954 'blade onto my ZZR600. They were pretty much a straight swap, but i did need to put a couple of spacing washers between the fork leg caliper mounts and the calipers so that the calipers sat centrally on the disc. I also had to file about 0.5mm from the inside top of the caliper itself to stop the disc rotor from rubbing against the caliper, but this is such a tiny amount that it will have no effect on the caliper.
Hope that helps

the gsxr is a waste of money imo, unless you get the gsxr front end set up to the correct weight its just a very expensive and painfull bit of bling.

the calipers do not fit the leg, the bolt holes on the leg and calliper are both 90 mm centres but, when the caliper is on the disc in the correct position the holes are flush with each other as in the pic above with the spacer im just going to leave the brackets iv made for now as they work.

and the comment about bending stancions i doubt very much that a stanchion will bend before a tyre skids,
