Default Upgrade front brakes with newer cbr600 honda?

Does anyone know for sure if any of the newer cbr600's brake systems will work with the f3? I was thinking i'll just upgrade everything, master cylinder, rotors, and calipers, just not sure if it will work. Mainly I'm interested in whether the 4 piston calipers and the larger rotors will bolt up properly. I know the master cylinder seems basically the same (except maybe able to push more volume of brake fluid though).

All you need (imo) is a 5/8s master cylinder.No ned for all that other stuf.

Now I do know a 900 RR front will bolt up.You will need the entire front end though (wheel,triples,clip-ons etc).

Nevermind, looked at pictures and the mounting is different Trying to see if there's some sort of adapter available.

My F3 brakes feel great. Mine consists of Goodridge Kevlar lines, fresh fluid (every season i replace the fluid) and some HH pads. Nothing more. I can't tell any differance between mine and my buddies 600rr.

That was another thing I was going to upgrade along with some HH pads, but whatever...I guess that's all I can really do.

Mine too. Just fitted HEL lines and new pads. Once thesystem is filled with new fluid and bled properly, full BWE is restored.
