Allso try to make sure you get the original banjo bolts when you do the calliper / M/C conversion to save any issues with the differant thread pitch sizes of the banjo bolts

nope, wont fit either. Not the 1K.

[buttz]

what about 99 zx-6

[mstingray]

seems alot of stuff from the SRAD era are bolt on.

same axles (confirmed; guess which is the SRAD and which is the TLR )
same calipers (confirmed)
somewhat same fork size (upper same/lower dia. smaller by 1mm, or was it larger )
same clipons
brake m/c same
same front wheel (confirmed)
same rotors (confirmed w/ almost all sportbike zooks except new radial brake sys. bikes)

More interesting would be knowledge about 4 cylinder calibers, solid ones like newest brembos and such. Lighter then six

Exactly - the 4-piston Brembo's have pretty much the same braking ability as the 6-piston set-up just they weigh less. We used the Brembo's on the Red Bull Suzuki gsxr 1K & I talked to the team manager about why we were using the 4-piston caliper set-up instead of an aftermarket 6-piston set-up. He gave me the same answer. The Brembo's are just a tad bit more expensive though...
