Hi to all, I'm thinking about upgrade the brakes calipers front and rear.
Any kind of opiniones or tips?
I know that there is a tokico caliper from a sporty bike for the Front one and need an adapter of "winters machining", but for the rear caliper I don't know if it's possible and what kind of caliper is good for the upgrade.
Will appreciate any kind of information or tips you get.
Cheers from Canary Islands.

There's not really any gain in going for a stronger brake on the rear - you'll just end up locking up the wheel quicker.
Stock is fine with decent pads and a braided line.

Re: front and rear Brake Calipers upgrade
I have a front caliper from a tl1000 on my 1400 and it works wonders. It does however go through pads quicker than stock. IMO, the rear are fine as is from factory
