Ho Hey Designs

I just got the adapter for my hhd dual caliper set up. To put the 4 piston honda caliper on the 636. Wow this thing is the best HB yet. This is your answer to getting rid of the junk Kawi caliper for your HB. I have only rode with it one time but so far i love it.

Thanks George :YEAH

Re: Ho Hey Designs

I have a 16x18 brembo with dual caliper set up and i have to squeeze the hb with 4 fingers as hard as possible for the brakes to lock up, my buddies bikes it only takes them 1 finger to get lock up.

wow dude, maybe u need some new pads/rotor or something, bled better idk. cuz i just got rid of my 16x18 and i had no problem lockin up my tire and my magura is even easier. i will say that on my rr it took less effort to lock up(almost too easy) idk if hondas use better pads or calipers or something.

I run the shorty lever provided by brembo??


i put new pads in recently maybe my rotor has had it??

I do know i could use a better bleeding, i use a claped out vaccum bleeder, imma try it ol skool style with a cup hose and pump action from the master...

my hb is super! soft i want it a lil stiffer, like i said hopefully this adapter will be my savior.

Re: Ho Hey Designs

isnt the 16x18 brembo a better choice to run with the 2 piston 954/929 caliper as a HB set up?

and the Magura 13mm would be better to run with the single caliper HB set up?

i believe that is the correct theory.

ive always been very successful with bleeding brakes. a couple tips u may or may not be aware of. make sure the caliper is level when bleeding it, i take out the bottom bolt and hold it so its level(bleeder pointing straight up) and stick a flat piece of metal about the thickness of the rotor so it leaves a space big enough to slide it back on the rotor. also when bleeding the master make sure you flip it around so its right side up(bleeder on top) or u can actually just swap the bleeder screw with the banjo bolt/brake line theyre same diameter and thread. i get the majority of the air out of the master just by pumping the brake and letting the air come up through the reservoir. then i put a clear tube over the bleeder screws so i dont make a mess and then pump and hold while i open the bleeder. i also open the bleeder on the caliper and just pump a bunch of fluid through without closing the bleeder, making sure you keep the reservoir full. ride it for a day then do a quick rebleed. hopefully that helps ya.

my brembo with single piston caliper worked great on the 636 but Jboogie it sounds like its the shorty lever. i run the standard length. but even though it worked good i still just got the 4 piston and it is the ****. funny but true story hear, i just got it all bled two nights ago and the next mornin wanted to test it. so i go in front of my house and try to clutch it up a couple times but i live on a brick road and it was 30 degrees outside so no traction. i finally got it to spin then grip and it came up real quick which i was expecting. what i wasnt expecting was that i had forgot to turn my idle up and how well the new brake worked well i mousetrapped the **** outta myself. i dont think ive ever mousetrapped just a seat stander. SO YES HOHEY U HAVE DONE IT AGAIN

if you are on a f4i i would agree with you. but the 636 calipers suck ***. this solved that problem for me plus i still have a bunch of f4i pads and calipers

the 4 piston on the rear feels way smoother then the on and off feeling of the 636 caliper. does that make sense to you

Does the 636 caliper have a smaller piston in it?

not sure on the piston side but the 636 calipers seem to flex alot when you put pressure to it. even with the foot brake push it down and watch the rear caliper on the 636 compaired to the f4i

Re: Ho Hey Designs

I just got a 4 piston caliper from a F4i for the handbrake.
Its a killer in combination with a brembo 16x18.

With my old 1 caliper set-up i sometimes fried the rubbers in the caliper...

My friend Klass made a bracket and welded that to the stock bracket:
