Title: blue dot calipers
Post by: gonzajr on April 25, 2013, 12:59:06 PM

gonzajr// Hello; over the week end I looked at blue dot caliper off a first generation r1. To fit 1989 fj with stock shocks and the bolt pattern was wide compare to the one on the bike. I need better braking. Also to fit a flat bar on this bike, dose the xj upper shock tree bolt on direct.

For the Blue Dot Calipers. I used a set of 2001 R1 calipers on mine.

For handle bars this link may help. It is all in german, but they do ship to the US.

Yes, the calipers bolt on with no modification necessary. I put new pads in, bolted them on, attached the brake lines and bled the brakes and was ready to ride... :dance:

I used 97' blue dots calipers, and they bolted straight on too. I combined it with a R1 brake m/c from the same bike.
I have however swapt out my 86' anti dive forks with a set of 89' fork to loose the Anti dive. The 86 forks were also i bad shape.

Cheers
