The BMW GS boxer twin thread

[BMWST?]

well the honda vtr calipers turned up today,looks promising.Damon from cycleworks(I am getting a 2-1 and the guts of the muffler rebuilt ) suggests a more modern pad will make the original front brake much better.So i have a couple of options to try now.
Will let you know how i get on.

[Padmei]

Let us know if they're a goer & I'd be interested in the RGV callipers. I won't bid against ya of course

[Box'a'bits]

So are you saying you won't bid against me either? I bid last night after I confirmed dimensions.

[igormortis]

I bought a pair of calipers that I believe are Nissins, just branded as Triumph. Probably wont end up using 'em, so if they work, perhaps one of you guys could use one?

I'd be keen on one that would do the job. PM me with the cost & we can talk turkey. Unless of course anyone else has nabbed them frst.

Is there someone else out there looking as well as us? If so we may have enough to do a run of adapters.

I'll take an adaptor if your getting a few made.
Cheers. Phil

I think they are the sort of item where it won't be hard to shift them. So, so far that''s Padmei, BMWRSNUT, Phreaky Phil. BMWST will you need an adapter for your Honda calipers? Any spares would be snapped up over on Advrider anyway. Got a good machine ship down your way? Otherwise I can possibly approach a former customer with a CNC machine. But I know he's pretty busy (the guy works huge hrs)

BMWST I assume you've sorted your ignition now?

Cheers, Steve

am running igorpeters beancan.Am consdidering a motorad electik one.Several attempts at opening the origianl have failed.Posi drive impact bits on order.Drill is last resort.Will rebuild beancan too,then will have backup.I will need some sort of adaper for the Honda calipers,but i dont know if the "suuki/nissin adapert will work or not.The Honda /Nissin calipers are different to the popular suzuki ones

[Padmei]

Sorry i'm getting a bit confused between BMWST & BMWRSNUT - I may have replied incorrectly to someone -

Could you all just change yuor names to Trev?

[igor]

what ya gunna get the adapter brackets made out of. mine is stainless

[topo]

I'd be up for 2 adapters if someone else does all the work

[BMWST?]

i think the suzuki/nissin adaper is aluminium.If i can use the same sort of adapter i will go that way too but if i need a full plate i would prefer stainless too i think.Depends if those in the know think if aluminium is kosher or not.

[igormortis]

Lemme do a measure up - I could be in for one.

Mine is aluminium, and all the ones I've seen on adv are also.
