looking to upgrade the brakes

[chevnut55]

i am going to do the brembo hidden caliper in the rear,i found one on e bay but still need to find the bracket.i dont trust the cheapies on flea bay,they are new and look good but why so cheap?
the fronts i would like to put a 1125 front brake set up on. will the caliper bolt on to my xb12r? or will a 1125 front forlk fit on my bike?

The 1125 caliper will bolt right on. YOu will need to get the master cylinder and a new line I think. EBR is now selling the caliper and master for a decent price. Be very careful about anything you buy on fleabay. Most of the brembo calipers from hong kong are not the real thing. I think that ASB might sell just the bracket...but not 100% about that.

the 09 and 10 xbs have the 8 piston caliper also same as the 1125s

ASB does sell just the bracket ($65) or the whole kit ($250). Add $12.50 for shipping.
