R100GS Nissin 4-piston caliper conversion

Probably some Australian !

The idea came from there, but a local ADVR'r here in the US made a very rough copy, passed the dim's to another ADVR who made the technical drawing linked

I got mine working and I am very happy with it.

No, no, no! Right a bit, then down a bit.

Are you feeling left-out and under-appreciated, Steve?

***SOLD***

I ant claiming it is mine. I am sure I have a pdf file of it somewhere from way back someone did.

Every couple of years I get that wrong don't I?

Sorry guys!

Hey I've been creditting you for that design - you fraudster.:huh

I used a Nissin 4 pot as they are very readily available & pretty cheap & had to mill the caliper down a bit to center the calliper over the disc.

do u know where any calipers are as a wee inglushman is looking to fit one. he is lurking hair

I have a pair of triumph branded calipers - I think they might be the 4-pot nissens. I can post a pic if anyone can help ID them.

Humm ... they wouldn't be the first to re-badge another manufacturers kit.

Yeah, post a pic or two, and we'll have a look-see.

Drop me a pm if you're interested in getting rid of them ...

I ended up getting mine from Victoria Bike Spares in Oz. they had heaps in stock. Around tht time everyone was looking for a set over here so the ones on Trademe went pretty quick & were pricey. I paid $150 I think incl postage.

Tell me about it, there's a new 6 pot on Trademe at the moment, a snip at $370 ...

Thanks for the suggestion Padmei, I'll start throwing the net a little wider ...

Nissin brake on ebay


EUR 49,00

Could this be my second ebay.de purchase in as many months ...

... either way I still owe you a beer or two for pointing out the first one...

Cheers

I've just noticed that they don't ship to NZ. However, if you are keen, we have a visitor coming later this month and another one of the first of Jan, so something could be worked out.

Yeah, I noticed that too.

However, he does say that he ships worldwide, so I'm hoping that NZ is a country that he will ship to but it's not specifically included on the list.

Many thanks for the offer, I'll let you know what he says ...

Are we still talking about a GS? Isn't that the wrong side?
