    Anyone fitted the newer front brake calipers to a RR-7?
    Someone asked me and l'm not sure.

    Probably a dumb question but what are the benefits of the newer calipers?

    they tend to perform better,never had standard calipers on my 07,but the calipers on the 08- are very good.

    it's must for some bikes,04/5 zx10r's for example,the calipers in those bikes are pretty poor,ok for road use but not for track.
