i got a full throttle block so i've got an ok setup but i would like to get a dual caliper setup.

You obviously don't know Aaron or anything about 905. It started in a garage in is still in a shop that isn't much bigger, with very few employees. So I wouldn't relate them to the big companies that don't care.

Now that I got that out of the way, although I personally don't run either companies products currently, if I had to pick one of the two companies for a dual caliper bracket I'd choose Hohey as I believe 905's was for a single piston caliper only.

They all start small, I have a buddy that makes some kick *** stuff out of his garage. These companies start getting greedy as the demand gets bigger and spend so much on advertisement that they have to inflate the price of their products and in a few cases... the product isnt worth the money.


I was looking at the 905 bracket back when I had my 900RR..... yes it was single piston and from I remember of it, the HHD was smaller and I thought the design was better...... and its been far proven to be a winner.

just get the HoHey.... you'll be happy. do your research on what master to get.

I just posted in another thread about this.....

I had the FTI adapter for my F4i, I tried 3 different masters with it, they were all bled properly and multiple times.... the lever was rock hard and i needed a bulldozer to lock up the wheel. the honda and suzuki adapter is the same so i took it out and put it on my buddies 04 gsxr600 with the nissin left bar master that I had (same as ZX7R clutch) It works amazing!!! lever has a great feel and you can lock the wheel up with 1 finger!

just a note...... we tried the f4i rear master on the GSXR, we werent sure if the GSXR master would still be usable if we threaded the adapter in and took it back out if the setup didnt work. So we tried the whole f4i master. It bolted up but the threaded shaft was too long for the GSXR and was applying brake all the time, the shaft could be cut to work but we still werent sure if it would work properly so we took the gamble and threaded it into the GSXR master.



thats premo 411 right there!:YEAH

Re: hohey Vs. 905???

905 has been making dual caliper brackets since before HoHey existed. They both make them using 6061 Billet aluminum and using CNC machines, so both parts are high quality and will function properly.

Hohey single piston - $155, 905 single piston - $135

The BIG difference is that HoHey offers a 4 piston version for many bike models, which is night and day performance-wise and is what I run on both of my 636's.

Also HoHey can provide you with a Brembo 16x18 or left-hand Magura 13mm to go with it.
