Very nice. Did you keep the stock brake line?

 

Did you keep the stock brake line?

The OEM brake line fits perfectly and, as I believe, it is steel braided then there was no need to change it.

Where did you source it?

Got it from:

http://www.corsaitaliana.com/

(who also trade on Ebay UK as: corsa7273 )

Highly recommended. Next day "free" delivery.

Looks great!

I think I need one too - came round a bend to find a herd of cows and calves strung across the road - my brakes faded!!! Definately a "pucker" moment!

 

Very nice....don't you just love all the options for modding these bikes?

 

Ooh yeah - gimme. Give want have!

 

Ventura -- that caliper is really something, let us know how it works out. Be careful not to bend your forks as you perform stoppies all over town

Recently heard of an alternative to the Beringer, this company called QTMI distributes a Brembo four pot caliper for the NTB:

Haven't yet heard of anyone installing this kit but it looks like good stuff.

 

Hmmm, let's see. Togas, airbox mods, springs, shocks, A/F gauge and now this nifty caliper. Man, my real estate appraisal business better pickup.....and SOON. That caliper is indeed a thing of beauty BTW.

Ventura, please post a photo on this site.... I am guessing you used a photo site that I cannot access.

Dying to see a photo installed.

Is this the caliper which can't be used with the front fender supports on the Bonneville (because they're in the way)?

 

Good question!
Waiting for the answer with a worm on my tongue...
"Baited Breath"

 

I believe that it is only the six pot beringer that gets in the way - but I need a fact check.

Inquiring minds must know -

Robin - to the internet!

 

Well - research shows me that:

The billet 6 pot calipers available from bellacorse will interfere with the standard bonneville lower mudguard (fender) stays - but are DEAD SEXY, and billet make good stuff.

According to newbonneville.com, the Beringer 6 pot system and rotor is a "direct bolt on replacement", but I am emailing for confirmation. This is dead sexy too.

I don't know who supplies the beringer 4 pot calipers (yet). It looks to me like they will work with stock mudguards and brake disc - though if you're going to put these on you might as well get an EBC semi floater.

That's what I have found - emailing Brent for more info on the lovely, lovely Beringers.

EDIT: looking at this picture of 6 pot beringers, I think they will clearly interfere with Bonneville standard lower fender stays. I reckon the 4 pots would be OK.

I have this in Black, and it was bolt on for a Thrux. It works great in terms of stopping and looks great. There is one problem. They shipped it with HBC pads, and they rattle in the caliper housing until you press the brake. I'm constantly thinking something is falling off my bike. There needs to be a spring that pushes the pads against the pistons so they don't rattle. A visit to Home Depot is in order to find a spring to put on the 2 posts that hold the pads in place and forces them apart.

 

The four pots bolt right up and work like a champ . Does wonders for the look of
the front wheel also.

 

I think Back!nBlack clarifies it with his pics (nice!!), and propforward with his enquiries, but the 4-pot
will fit to all the Bonnie derivitives unhindered.
The 6-pot, being much longer, would cause a problem with that bottom fender support
(which the Scram doesn't have).

I got my caliper here in UK from:

http://www.corsaitaliana.com/

who trade on Ebay UK as: corsa7273

They also sell the matching master cylinder / lever and disc if your interested (and rich!!)


The caliper can also be found at http://www.mototwin.com but are a bit more expensive there.

Binsy........Sorry you cant see the pictures, but I dont know any other way to do it.
Dont think I've had a problem with posting before?
If you PM me your email address I'll send you photo's if you like

Back!nblack - where did you get the 4 pot beringers if you don't mind my asking?

How does the beringer feel with that beringer disc - much better than stock I expect?

Do these 4 pot calipers use the same style pads as stock, out of interest? Not that it matters either way really.

EDIT: Brent just emailed me (at 4.30am - does that man never sleep?!) Newbonneville.com can supply both 4 pot and 6 pot beringers.

Night and day over stock , smooth powerful braking -- worth every dime .

I got mine from Bill Gately
Bonneville Performance
310 493 4556

 

He did not quote me a price yet, just said he can get anything by Beringer. If you email him he will give you a price. I'm going to be adding my stuff over winter, so I dind't ask him for a price yet.

If there's enough interest I'm sure he'll put it on the website, but even if there isn't, he is more than happy to obtain one offs - he's done it for me before.

 

Thanx

Ventura,

thanks for the photo's, they do look good and if they stop like you say they do, they will be on my shopping list in the near future.

And for the record, over here we have 2 weeks of bad weather when riding is unpleasant !

Fitted my Beringer four pot a few days ago, EBC do make pads for them (FA158) HH type as well. The EBC ones rattle as well, somewhat concerning first time you hear it

 

I too fitted the FA158HH EBC pads with the 4-pot Beringer.
Even more stopping power!!
I have't experienced any rattling tho.
Was NorthernThrux refering to the 6-pot when he described this problem?
The pads in mine seem nicely snug, with no excessive space or clearance which would allow a rattling fit.

V.

 

The rattle is caused by the slight up and down movement of the pads allowed by the oval cut in the EBC brake pad.The noise is only noticeable at low speed, particularly in stop and start traffic. I did not notice any noise with the original Beringer pad. Side to side pads are snug. Another huge advantage with this caliper is the ease of changing brake pads.

Sure is!
Just remove the pin and pull them out.
Great for keeping an eye on pad wear too!!

Just for the record, I've been using a Beringer 4 pot on my T100 with EBC pads fitted for some time now. My pads rattle too. Gave me some concern when I first heard it, but once I found out what it was, I just ignored it. I don't think it's anything to worry about and I assume it's because the Beringer caliper doesn't use an anti-rattle spring like the Nissin caliper does. I don't know if the supplied Beringer pads rattle too, as I went straight for the EBCs due to the fact that I was fitting an EBC floating disc at the same time. This set up is a lot more confidence inspiring than even the Nissin caliper with EBC pads and I don't feel the need for a twin disc set up given the performance of the bike. It gives powerful, progressive braking with good feel and is not too sharp. I was advised that using a single 6 pot caliper might need a fork brace, and as I didn't want to fit one, or remove the mudguard stays to allow a 6 pot to fit, I went for the 4 pot and am very happy with it. It's also about £100 cheaper.

 

Anyone know the prices for the Beringer 4 pot US supplied? damn I just promised the wifey that the Thrux modding would stop...she thinks food and rent is more important
