changing brake calipers

Ok I have read lots on here and elsewhere about uprating the front brakes on my 06 tona, I am thinking of changing to Suzuki 6 pot tokico? calipers, does anyone know if its a straight replacement job IE mounting points line up etc or do I have to replace the forks to do the job?

There are two sizes of 6-pot Tokico used on Suzuki - one from Hyabusa & one from K1/K2 GSXR 1000
Neither fits your Daytona. (Hayabusa one fits Sprint or older T3 series bikes)
Because these are not radial, it makes the adaption extremely difficult, I would say impossible even.

Thanks for the info DEcosse, I knew you would come through, I only wanted to do it for a fashion sense really so I will not bother, but once again thanks for your prompt reply, I will stop looking on Ebay now!
