    I know for a fact if you do this, you can fit CBR600F4 gold four pots (and VTR ones, same caliper), GSX-R1000 6 piston calipers bolt straight on and my ZZR ones can be made to fit, along with several others.
    my rotors arent floating ones there soilid so calibers move where ones you mentioned say the brakes be soild

    and the discs have washers that float to stop warping very cool . like race bike cool only years ago

    where as my right disc is bloody warped as hell aghhhh its like good 10mm in parts u can see it let alone measure it

    my god no wonder dude locked up his brakes the right disc was warped to hell and pistons where seized

    I have read where vtr forks do fit in to vfr 750 there like 5mm diffrence but as your aloowed to sit tops the forks above the clip ons

    I must try this to sharpen sterring , when you going take ride on the bike dude ? you welcome too

    The VFR fork lowers will go on, might be worth finding some and throwing new seals in.
    Then get some new disks from somewhere lol

    I'm in Eketahuna for a wee bit with no transport (sold my car today) but I certainly have to ride it

    rare that it doesn't work and way way more successful than compressed air

    excellent tip, cheers!

    stuck pistons are a bitch.

    that red grease and new seals and CLEAN them really well and they'll work like a charm. I couldnt believe the difference it made to my VFR400 when I did it.
