I have a set of 929 calipers kicking around the shop and my current hand brake sucks. I was thinking of fabricating up a bracket to run both nissen calipers on the rear. Think it will be too much for the foot brake?

 

I've got 1 on the back, HB and foot go to it and I think I love it. A little touchy at first (powerful) but sweet now, use to it.

 

Thanks for the feedback. I am gonna get some aluminum plate today and see what I can fab up. Should be able to find a line locally too. I'll post back up with my progress.

 

4piston footbrakes take a little getting use to. try it and see if ya like it.

 

that's what I'm thinking. I have the parts here to do it and I want to run the Nissen for the handbrake anyway so I won't be wasting any $ on the line and stuff.
For the first attempt I'll make the bracket outta steel so I can cut and weld here at my shop. If I like it, I'll have a buddy CNC some up for the rest of the locals....

 

On my 636 I got a zx11 rotor and made a bracket to run a single 4 piston nissin on it. The bracket is so easy to make for this bike, i cant believe people are paying hundreds of dollars for them.



the plate you see is 3/16" steel and theres a 1/8" aluminum spacer plate behind the top half

 

What are you using for the adapter on the real master? I have the GP Tech on my bike now and it flexes like a *****. I can't even pull my bike back through idle with the hand brake and stock rear caliper.
I thought of trying your set up first (I might spray bomb it first thought) to see if that would be enough power to pull through idle with the radial master in front piggy backed through the rear master.

I have a few rear brackets to mess with too and I have the 3/16 plate here as well, thanks for the feedback.

And what year rotor? I'd love a bigger one to keep the heat down and the leverage up.

 

i have a welded in adapter from johnnyP
yup, mines sprayed black now too
rotor was from a 95 i think, but not sure. it was a zx11d, and i got the rotor off ebay for 30 shipped

 

i bought the FTI bracket for a dual nissin brake for my f4i...very easy to install, but it is $180 from bill at FTI. Shouldnt be to difficult for you to fab something

 

I have it on mine and i love it!

 

Sweet, thanks for all the input. I am leaning towards the dual nissin set up as of now. I also have 2 factory rear calipers and brackets that I am going to weld together for another guy on a 636 to get him up and running. Like I said earlier, I'll post up my success/failure pics soon...

I'm just concerned about the 4 piston being too touchy on the foot brake. I am just used to having the spongy single piston now. I'm sure it's much better once you get used to it.

 

I made my own adapter plate as well but its on the stock sized rotor. Shimmed with washers.

Rounded offf the edges and painted black now.

 

you doing that work today merlin???? i got the next two days off if you need any help

 

Come down, we'll get you cage ready and stuff too. Did you get that round bar yet?

 

yeah probley tomorrow im getting my shitty handbrake setup tonight

 

You should wait till I'm done stupid...... I might have better parts left over for you!

 

just got it on and its tight as hell, for some reason way better than the zx6r had it but i just need a ez pull and ill be set

 

Here's the progress photo's, got the mechanical work done, now to do the plumbing.
