Shyan Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Just curious anyone has done above conversion? From part book it seems differences is just the Fork and disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Hausknecht Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Yes, fork lowers and discs differ. Unless the parts are free, why bother? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Might be cheaper/easier to use R1 rotors: extreme creations r1 rotor adapter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klx678 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Even though a bit pricy I'm betting that 320 rotor adapter and the rotors might be lower cost than trying to do the new big rotor parts from Yamaha... plus the rotors would be 320mm instead of 299mm. More for your money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adapt one of the Buell rotors that attaches to the rim. You'd really get more that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Hausknecht Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Now y'all are just being silly. Bigger discs, more weight and farther from the axle; none of that is good or necessary. You want great brakes? Try an R6 master cylinder (made by Brembo), braided lines, and pads with characteristics you want (initial strong bite versus linear friction). You'll be able to do two-finger stoppies and never experience fade. Honest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galfer double H brake pad, Galfer brake hose (2 line straight from Master Cylinder) and fresh brake oil and able to do two-finger stop with no fade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say the fact is the OEM brakes from the first FZ on probably are strong enough as is for anyone other than a track day rider, racer, or fool. Face it, if you need more brakes on the street you're far too trusting of the conditions of riding the street. My comment was purely from a financial and performance standpoint. But maybe a double Buell set up, with the radial master cylinder... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seven Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Isn't the stock master cylinder on the MT-07 Brembo? It has the Brembo logo on top, at least my 2019 does...or am I misreading it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Hausknecht Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Does it have a remote reservoir? My R6 master cylinder has a remote reservoir. Sorry, I don't have a stock one to compare it to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klx678 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 It is Brembo. Brembo also makes lower line common production bike stuff too. My 1975 Moto Guzzi 850-T had Brembo brakes. That proved to me design of brakes is more important than the name on them. There was a definite mismatch between caliper and master cylinder on that bike. Wooden brake, short lever pull. I think it had the master cylinder with a piston size for a twin caliper set up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 2016 will definitely lock the front wheel since I added the EBC HH pads and the Spiegler SS lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
