stock rear brake caliper

[thrstrmech]

is it possible to invert the rear brake caliper and use a longer brake line to achieve the "hiding brake look" or has anyone look into it before?

If you get no responses I can mess around with placement of my stock caliper and bracket(since I don't have the brembo bolted up yet), and see if it might b feasible.

thanks, that would be great, if it's possible the only expense is a new longer brake line

Ill go look now actually, I have a few minutes...

no you can't
The stock caliper has 1 piston and slides to apply the other.
the hidden calipers have 2 pistons wich push the pads.

Yeah there's no way. It's too thick and hits the swingarm. It does fit if you flip it but then the mounting points are on the wheel side of the rotor(not the swingarm side of the rotor) so there's no way to bolt it up. And even then it isn't really that hidden because it sticks way into the wheel area.

Keep an eye out for the brembo, I got mine with the bracket for like $75 IIRC. New pads were $25ish. Powder coat was cheap as I was doing other parts already anyway.

thanks for the effort, shot in the dark
