Kawasaki ZXR400 race project - DAY 12
Getting scrappy pretty well all together now. We have had to rip the brakes apart and use a blow tourch to remove the seized in pistons !!! rear caliper is rebuilt .. but the magic shelves of scrap parts comes to our rescue again with a piar of CBR929 Nissin calipers. Once stripped and rebuilt these were fitted. A slight bit of milling on the calipers for clearance and a couple of top hat spacers turned up and we have some nice shiny calipers !!
These bled up nicely and were fitted with a set of HEL lines that we had laying around off a ZX6R , we modified one end of the lines and they fitted perfectly.
On the rear brake , we kept the standard caliper ( rebuilt and now cooled down from the blow tourch experience ) and fitted the rear master cylinder up to a set of GSXR1000K8 rear sets that we modified to fit . At the same time we modified the rear mastercylinder to take a return spring so there is no chance of the rear brake accidently dragging.
