Has anyone removed one of there front brake rotors/ brake caliber? to give it that whole single sided brake look (where one side of the wheel is visiable). I wanna remove my front brake rotor/caliber but i need to know if i need a new brake line or what?

 

i am not expierenced with this idea but i would think it's a bad one.. half the braking power and it's goin to pull to one side..

 

While I'm not going to tell you what you should and shouldn't be doing, why would you want to essentially remove 1/2 of your braking power????

 

dont do it!!!!

 

I would also advise leave that for the "show" bikes.

 

its a drag racing thing leave it for the hayabusa guys your vehicle is designed to slow rapidly in preparation for turns leave both there or plan on getting a trailer and not riding it anywhere

 

To answer your question yes you'll need a new brake line kit. It will come with two lines, banjo bolts and crush washes. You'll need a shorter banjo bolt for the master because it's made to go thru both lines but too long for one line.
I have to agree with everyone else and say I wouldn't do this mod either. But it's your bike so good luck.

 

you don't need to buy anything, I'm sure if you go to your local shop they will have a brakeline that will accomodate your desired length from a bike that has upgraded to the braided lines. As far as the safety goes, I was rolling 100ft stoppies with one caliper on my 98 900rr and never experienced a "pulling" problem (it was that way when I bought it, but I bought all of the parts to fix it). I definately feel safer rolling with all of my brakecomponents on the bike but again unless you're headed out to do an AMA walk-on you'll be fine. Another point to be made, is that unless you have custom wheels, if you pull your rotor/caliper off you'll look like a squib.(there is nothing to show off otherwise, and chrome dosen't classify as custom)

 

I just like the fact that these bikes have such incredible stopping power with those huge dual discs. One finger is all you ever need, even for emergency stops - makes it easy to keep the brake lever covered all the time.

But, to each their own, man.

 

thankz for all the reply's, think imma just get the rotor colored matched to the paint and hope it makes the chrome wheels stick out.
