I just went with the speedmaster since it pushes dual 2 pots like the stock f3. Since I have the electronic speedo I am trying to keep it as stock looking as possible just the changes I need to make. What calipers did you use to get 3 pots?

Don't want to hijack the thread, but Rich, are you using the same 3 pot calipers
that Ventura used from the Hornet, Transalp etc. If so, did they bolt to the F3
forks without any problems? I was thinking about getting a set of them as well.

Siskiyou,

Yep, these are the same 3-pot Nissin calipers off the list of hondas that Ventura posted. I ended up having to buy a set in order to get the left side - which is what I really wanted/was all I needed at the time. I've had F3 bits kicking around for the better part of 2 years and knew I would eventually get around to fitting them...so having to buy both sides wasn't a turn off.

The honda 3-pots not only bolt up to our bikes, but also the F3 lowers. So for those doing the F3 front end & wheels who are looking for calipers, you can either try to score a set of the 3-pots, buy a F3 caliper set, or just buy a speedmaster right side caliper & retain your existing left caliper. All bolt right up and all are of floating design.

Cheers,

P.S. - Actionabe; search the forum for 'honda 3-pot caliper' and you'll get tons of info on where to look for these calipers.

Thanks, that's what I was thinking just didn't know if there was another caliper I didn't know about for the f3. I was looking at that thread before I committed to the f3 swap. Was amazed how closely the thruxton caliper resembles the f3 calipers I got..

Thanks Rich - that was exactly the info I've been looking for. Now I just need to find a set.
Oh, and by the way I checked with a friend of mine who has a set of these calipers on his NV700 and
he says the master cylinder has a 1/2" piston in it which is the same as the F3 master. Don't know
if a little more volume might be needed for that 3rd piston on one side, but that gets you in the
ball park.

What is everyone using for a front fender? Is the only way to do it to have a custom bracket made?
