I'm interested in following "TheRev"'s mod and putting R6 calipers and updated rotors on my bike for better stopping power. Obviously buying the rotors and caliper are simple, but I have no fab experience. I'd be interested in getting a pattern I can take to a shop for the caliper brackets. Would any other calipers work better over an R6 caliper?

Keep in mind that his template is for blue R1 calipers and not R6. I don't know if they differ from each other but I thought I would point it out.Originally posted by IanDMacDonald View Post'79 XS11 F

I was looking at Ebay between the R6 & R1, they looked similar.1979 XS1100F

I don't know if there is any difference between them, the part numbers are similar. The drawing gives a starting point though. I have some R1 calipers, but I have not tried to install them on anything.
The drawing was made when a pair of adapter brackets that Tony purchased didn't fit right, so he took the measurements to fix the problem and make new ones. I documented all of that for him with the drawing.

I assume 310 mm rotor diameter... might not make much of a difference but some years has 298 mm rotors and thickness varried as well.'79 XS11 F

I went to the dealer and measured them at the time but I don't recall what they were.

"TheRev" has told me that the rotors should be 325mm. I found some for an FJR, and another for a Ducati Multistrada.1979 XS1100F

325 is not correct. Depending on the year it varies: 298mm and 320mm.Originally posted by IanDMacDonald View PostXS1100 3X0 '82 restomod, 2H9 '78 chain drive racer, 3H3 '79 customized.

I might have mis-spoke. 320 sounds right.1979 XS1100F

I have some loose XS1100 and XS650 rotors. I have three loose ones and all are 298 mm in diameter. I believe the XS1100 rotors to be from a standard. They don't have slots and the calipers I got with them are for a standard.Marty (in Mississippi)
