Default installed gold calipers

So after seeing a post that someone installed gold calipers on their f4i I had to do it myself too. I ended up getting a 954rr rear off ebay for $19 shipped and 600rr fronts locally for $30. So I'm just under 50 bucks to do this mod not bad if you ask me. I'm not sure how much powder coating would of cost, but I would think it would be more than $50. Anyways the install was pretty straight forward everything bolted right up with no problems. I did have to stretch the rear brake line to fit the new line mount of the 954rr rear caliper. I'm pretty happy with the results I love the way it looks on my bike.

A 600rr rear caliper from a 03 04 will work. I only used a 954rr rear caliper cuz I got it really cheap on ebay but its the same thing. I hope that helps

Looking good, nice work finding them so cheap. I found all 3 for $60 and thought that was a big steal.
