I will get an answer on the CB1000R from Woolich this week" he forgot or may need a calendar...
Cb1000r come with ABS and CBS And all it s just about how CBS work CBS or combine brake system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_braking_system that s mean , you will need TWO independent brake circuits in one of the front calipers here oem abs/cbs cb1000r right caliper how i can plug in one 4 or 6 or 8 pots calipers 2 circuits ? (sure caliper can be modified ,but i m really not interested ) why i m gonna use this 6 pot from vfr1200? -because vfr 1200 come also with CBS , that s mean on left caliper two independent circuits 4 pots and 2 pots (AKA vfr 1200f is the only bike in the world to have radial calipers and CBS , well ariel too as based ON vfr 1200f) why i need also vfr 1200 forks ? -cause the bigger spacing of radial calipers due the 6 pot (120mm instead of 108mm as usual ,120 mm are also calipers out of yamaha r1-mt01 6 pot calipers ) why i cannot use r1 or mt01 forks -because r1 forks are too short -mt01 are bit too longer , also good used are hard to come -cb1k forks are 50 -55 AS vfr12f unit , -yamaha are 50 -54 mm -öhlins for r1 or mt01 are about 2500 euro -öhlins for vfr1200f are about 4500 euro so i m the proud owner of first cb1000r abs/cbs/radial calipers in the world and ask to myself ... HONDA was not that hard sell a bike like that.....
