Brembo Monoblock Caliper
Brembo Monoblock Caliper from GSXR750 has just arrived, first attempt to install had shown that the 300mm rotor of the ER6n proffed to be too small. Only 2/3 of the Rotor surface has contact with the Brembo Brake Pads. Further measurement shows that the 310mm Rotor from the ZX10R 08 09 10 will fit nicely onto this setup. Apart from that a longer caliper bolt is required as the original ZX10R 06 Bolt is about 5cm shorter.
So I'm off to the bay to scamper for a suitable ZX10R rotor.

Grab rail cover arrived...
Grab rail cover arrived from Bangkok dispatched by a friend (Marc). Following his advise, some double sided tapes was used to secure the new covers to the mounts. Bike did look weird without the cover.

Grab rail cover fell off
To my dismay, discovered last weekend tat my gab rail cover on the right side had fell off. Just purchased a new pair from Marc and hope it arrives soon. Will try some means of securing it so that it does not fly off the next time around

Nissin Mono Block Caliper Anyone...?
Pondering the idea of integrating the 2010 Triumph Daytona 675 Front caliper onto the ER6n. Why the 2010 Triumph Daytona 675 caliper you might ask...? The 2010 and later calipers are Mono Block calipers, which means that they are made / Machined from a single piece of forged aluminum. Much stronger, and less prone to the caliper twisting during load. Higher cost due to difficult manufacturing. the Pre 2010 Daytone is equipped with Twin-block calipers which are joined together (front and back) by two pieces with the bolts on front face, top and bottom of the caliper (usually 3 sets each). More prone to twisting. Lower cost than mono-block type.
