Default 929 brakes calipers on f4i! {updated with pics}

This is probably a repost sorry, but w/e

So I was looking at the 929 brake calipers (front and rear) What I want to know is if they will fit directly on the our bikes w/out modification! They look like they do, I am more worried about the back caliper! I would imagine that there is no gain in performance, I am more or less doing this for looks! I have a repsol kit on my bike and I am bored from all the rain that has been dropping! I NEED SOMETHING TO DO!!! Also figured it bring a nice " bling bling" factor...

Anyways if you guys have any answers it would nice to hear back or any recommindations! I can't remmember but I also herd people swapping the master cylinder too....


Thanks Guys!

I have herd that 6 pistons are worse in braking power compared to 4 piston calipers! Something to do with 4 pistons covering or having greater surface area which applies more brake pressure...... apparently thats why more 1k's have gone to 4 piston and left six pistons behind.

Well if thats not the case then what year gixxer 1k calipers will work? Oh yea I am also looking for a rear so will a gixxer 1k rear fit as well?

929 brake calipers
and 929 brake system (master cylinder)

Only other thing that I need to do is figure out if the rear master cylinder will fit on our foot pegs and hook up to the brake system?



Anyone got any answers to that?

I'm looking for better performance. I don't want any clearance issues. Should I go 929 or Gixx? I think my calipers are OK. I think I'll do the Master Cylinder for now.
