I have just fitted ZX12R ('06) calipers to my ZRX ('01).
The adapter came from Taiwan.

How do they perform in comparison?
I have a set of 12R calipers and master if anyone wants them.

Good work mate. I love the Nissin radials with the stock master cylinder. One finger braking any time you want.

Where I looked initially:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ZRX1200-ZRX-Rad ... 53&vxp=mtrLooks like he's sold out. Perhaps he'll do some more.
I bought them about 6 months ago, and only just got around to fitting them after my top-end rebuild.
I may need to bleed the brakes again before I can comment on how good they are.
I took them off my (previous) ZX12R. I put Nissin GTR1400 calipers on that one - one finger braking for sure with those.

After a bit more bleeding and bedding in, they perform very well - I think better than OEM.
However, there is a set of Nissin calipers (ex ZX6R) on the way, 'cause they're the ant's pants.
My best set of brakes however, are R1 blue-spot calipers, coupled with an FJR1300 master cylinder, on my FJ1200. Definitely 1 finger braking.

I have a set on the forks that I took off when I fitted the gold ones.

You just need a matching Master cylinder now for the ZRX

No, the OEM one is fine.

Tokicos off the ZX12R were good.
Nissins (ex ZX6R) are on now. Much newer technology, and definitely one finger braking, instant stopping.
