Default Calipers & Disc's

Guy's i want to try and upgrade the front brakes on my CBR.

My question, Are there any disc's and calipers from a newer bike that would fit mine?.

Cheers guys...

Hmm Boab , lots of looks here but no one ponying up anything, I'd say to go that
route you'd be looking at a front fork replacement to match the caliper mounts to
the diameter of the new discs............ otherwise trying to use the oem fork would
be a lot off effort I'd have to say.

My two cents on it.

The best upgrade for the brakes on a CBR100F is braided SSlines and EBC HH pads. These are NOT race bikes.

There is no reason to upgrade the calipers and rotors. If you need new rotors then buy some stock one and good pads. I really like the Stainless idea. I did those this winter. Love it.

Maybe take your calipers and have them power coated.

Unless you can find a caliper that has like 10 pistons then there is not really an upgrade.

All the discs are the same, as far as I know.
The brake calipers and mounting points are different................
You'd have to fit a complete new front end to fit newer brakes (linked) and the rear would have to go too.
Not worth it IMO.
Fit S/S pipes to the FRONT ONLY.
The rear is too sharp as it is, and anymore power will give you problems, unless you're very wary.

Thanks for the replies lads. I have already fitted Hel braided brake lines all round, and run Genuine Honda HH pads.

If you need new rotors, don't waste the spend on OEM...you can get aftermarket ones for cheaper that are at least as good. For calipers, you're SOL...just get some aftermarket lines (kevlar or braided steel), some quality sintered pads (EBC has HH pads for our bikes) and go to town.
