'Busa Calipers?

Its springtime in the Rockies and I'm getting the Trophy ready.
Since I'm going to replace the brake fluid anyway, I thought I
might try the Hayabusa caliper upgrade. Lots of people mention
it, but I have never found anyone that did the upgrade themselves.
Can anyone offer some first hand knowledge on the difficulty
of the upgrade? What additional parts are needed also? Do you use the stock
Trophy lines or Hayabusa lines? Any info will be greatly appreciated!!!

Drain and unbolt your original calipers....using new copper washers on the banjos attach the Tokico 6 pots bleed and use.

The same calipers were used on ZX9r, ZRX, GSX1400, Some Bandits, GSXR1000 (the first one) etc etc.



You could of course also pump out and clean all the pistons, apply copper grease to the necassary parts etc etc

Yep, it's that easy. R&R with new washers. The angle of the banjos on the caliper end of the Triumph lines are slightly tight for the 'busa calipers but the stock lines work fine, it's just different.

Thanks for the info guys. It doesn't seem too complicated, so I might as well give it a try!

I'm another one with the 6 pots. It's as easy as removing and installing the stockers.

Changing calipers was a great upgrade for my Trophy.
