Hi kawamaniacs,

Everyone recommends changing the calipers on da crim, which nissins do I go for:

Bike model
Year

Regards,

Rizzo

The ones off the ZX6 2007 onwards, which are the same as the ZX14's as well. Bolt straight on. If you want to make them even nicer get a radial M/C of the same model or an 06 onwards zx10

You can also use CBR calipers (a lot cheaper) but you need spacers. I'm not sure what models though.

Ebay is your best bet I think.

Good luck with it.

Thanks Glen. I have a radial M/C on it ATM so just need the calipers. Thanks for the tip

Nissins are so damn sexy I plan on putting em on the 12 also.

They stop on a dime with the stock M/C btw, I'd almost call em too good. If you wanna cartwheel it 5 times instead of 4 then go the M/C.

Some of the CBR calipers are monoblocks too...

08- onward CBR1000 are monoblocks.
Any CBR1000 (ie. 04/05- onward) or CBR600 radial mount (05- onward) caliper will fit. Honda ran the same calipers on 1000 & 600 EXCEPT with spacers on 1000 to suit larger rotors.
These calipers are a bolt on for the ZX10 EXCEPT you MUST run spacers equivalent to those used on CBR1000. If you run the genuine honda spacers you need to remove the lip that goes on the caliper mount (ie. fork) side, as the caliper mount on the 10 has a flat surface whereas the fireblade has a recess to mate with the lip on the spacer. If you get new spacers machined up then you don't need to worry.

Hope that helps.
Cheers, Anthony

I have a set of Nissins that are on my six that's for sale, seeing as there is no interest here on the bike I can pull them off before I sell it on ebay or bikesales....... $600 for the pair (that's what the wreckeres are charging for a set) PM me if you are interested Rizzo

Hmmmm,$600 for a set...........including the carbon rotors

I just purchase a set of Tokico's off a 2011 ZX10, brand new unused for $143. If thats any help

Ebay is your friend

When i put nissins on my gumby a few years ago, i paid $300 with near new oem pads in them, they were off a 07 zx6r and as new... got them from the wreckers here in melbourne..

I think I paid like 150 on eBay from a guy in syd.
That was about 4 years ago now. Zx14 ones. The stock pads Are the ducks guts

But they didnt have any ATM, and said they would sell me the "gold tokico's" for the same price

Thanks, but no thanks. Having seen Matty Walters, Dustin "Mr Excitement" Goldsmith, and my hero - Phil Lovett - using them on their 10's recently I doubt I'll need more in the braking dept .

I do have a set of nissin's as well on "the other bike" so when they arrive and I fit them to the minibike I'll be able to provide a comparison.

As a comparison already I was able to outbrake dudes on GSX-R's and CBR's at the track day I went to last November no problem with my "gold tokico's", it was just that after riding the MV Brutale's for 2 weeks they feel a bit wooden, the nissin's still felt fine though
