More than likely not but you never know until you fully measure them both up. I say not as the Bandit fixing bolts to the legs are 8mm and the Gixxer is 10mm, that buggers it up straight away as you don't really want to put a bush in to sleeve them down.

Why not?

Pro-bolt actually custom makes proper sleeves for this purpose Thumbs Up

Link?? can't see there being much of a market for them, 600 Bandit owners are stuck with a very limited choice of calipers that's why a lot drop 1200 or other model forks in them.

Danny if you've already got the calipers just offer them up to the mounting points you'll soon see if they are anything near

Well, every ZZR600/1100 owner buys them when they change the shitty Tokico calipers for decent ones Laughing

Will try and find the website....

The problem is they are two different threads, it would be hard to make an M10 to M8m adaptor bush, I've done M8 to M6 but that was marginal and not a critical application, the larger coarser threads would be even finer tolerance and not a DIY job without the right equipment. The other alternative is to drill the fork mounting hole to a 10mm clearance but it's best not to piss about with something as critical as brakes and their mounting points.
I suspect the ZZR stuff you're talking about aren't bushes but adaptor plates to enable other calipers to be used that have different position mounting holes and or different radii to the originals.

Hi

M&P used to (may still) sell Nissin calipers and the mounting brackets to fit them to various bikes. The 1200 Bandit needed no mounting bracket but the 600 did, which suggests that there is a fair difference.

Cannot see them listed in their catalogue.

All the best

Yeah but no amount of cleaning can make up for them just being crap. Believe me I've cleaned them. They are well past it.

And the set of Nissins I bought were only £30 from a Fireblade Thumbs Up Smile

Kieth - it isn't pro-bolt - I can't find the bookmark. Defo got it somewhere, and if not then there is a link to it from zzr-international.com Thumbs Up

Theres nothing wrong with the calipers. Powerful enough to pull stoppies with good modulation.
