Looking to get a little more braking power from my front and rear brakes. Any ideas? I was thinking swap to 4 piston calipers up front?

Do you have braided steel lines? If not get em!

Max,

I agree with Rom about the braided SS lines. They have made a huge difference in braking power on my bikes. At this point, I cannot imagine the need to do anything more. I go fast, the bike stops quick.

I can't tell you how much diff. you get by installing stainless lines as I put them on at the same time I insalled 2 six piston calipers from a ZX-6 onto my bike, all I can tell you is that this setup flat WORKS. I don't need to do anything to the rear, cause it locks easy when it's in the air!! It will lift the rear on a clean road (or lock it on a not so clean road) with just a firm 2 finger squeeze. I posted a pic on a thread called "check out these brakes" in this forum, it's on the 5th page now.

Six piston front caliper thread

That thread got me looking for some

stainless ss lines are the way to go. i use them with my old school front and rear end setup. makes a huge diffrence. i run a zzr1200 front end with duel piston calipers on my kz1000 and i hardly even touch the rear brakes except before throwing her over in a big curve.

Braided SS lines and kevlar pads made all the diference with mine. You can get way better results from 6 piston calipers but will lose the stock look.
