Will the nissin Calipers from a 93 Fireblade fit a 95 ZX6R F1?

I'm hopeing to just lift the whole assembly straight off my blade and drop it onto my ZX

Cheers

if you've got the bikes side by side then get yer ruler out

I measured Satans ZX7 6 pot calipers against my Rf and they were the same fixing centres and offset, but I ended up sticking some Busa 6 potters on. Straight swap except the banjo bolts were a different pitch thread.

I wish I could. The blade is with me in Houghton Regis the ZX is at my Mums in Norwich about 120 miles away. I'm racing it at the weekend and the current ZX master cylinder won't bleed up properly. I borrowed a friends for a short while and could get it to bleed no problem so I suspect the seals have gone in the original. Unfortunately I can't borrow it again at the moment so this looks like my only option.
The Nissin Master cylinder is a 14mm and the ZX is 5/8 it's not a huge difference so I may get away with that instead

the difference is more than you think as its the cross sectional area that counts!

Good job you did...that 50 mph rolling stoppie in Wales was very very impressive mate

Cheers Adam,
The blade calipers have a lot narrower and shorter mounting bolts other than that they would have been a straight swap.
Got the standard one bled through and put up with the sponginess. I wasn't last and I didn't crash, so a successfull weekend I guess
