really liking the gold calipers! So if I get calipers off a 929 or a 954 will this work with my stock brake lines and stock pads?

The fronts will work, but on the rear the brake bleeder and line mount are flip flopped so I don't believe the stock line is long enough.

thanks for the pic! so did u order your rear brake line a little longer? I already order the rear brake off ebay for 19 bucks shipped. I'll wait to find a sweet deal for the front calipers.

Yeah I ordered both my fronts and rears a little longer. extra 2" up front and 4" on the rear. Did it just so I knew I'd had a little wiggle room when intalling them. Turned out to be a good thing on the rear, cuz I was unaware that the bleeder was switched around.

Nope the hole for the line is bigger than the hole for the bleeder.

Yeah there are def deals out there. Just takes a little patience. I found mine on Honda Motorcycles, all 3 calipers for $60 I couldn't believe it, such a steal at that price.

Oh I have got to get those gold calipers. It would look off the hook with my gold chain and sprocket. Although it might clash with the silver running throughout the bike. Hmm...
