Ok... now I’m intrigued. What was the effort to mount the R1 calipers on the FJ? I’m running the 320mm R1 rotors, but still have the stock FJ calipers with appropriate spacers. The idea of a caliper upgrade is very appealing, as I suspect that’s the weakest link in the stock FJ braking system. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banderso Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share Posted January 22, 2021 Hi, Caliper upgrade.... Really, I don't know if it is a real upgrade. Maybe bling/vanity... The R1M calipers are a lovely bronzish color...🙄 I understand the R1M calipers have different puck composition, aluminum instead of steel. The right caliper bleed screw has an o-ring and seals well for bleeding. The puck sizes I have not been able to determine if different from the FJ09. Measuring the puck opening, they seem to be the same. The R1 and FJ09 pads have different part numbers, so....... In the pattonforme thread I think I was advised that the caliper swap wasn't done, no advantage. I can say the rotor swap helped. I want rock solid leverage, great initial bite, and fade free performance. I don't like a spongy pull, and trying to eliminate that also... Not sure if the abs will allow this.

banderso Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share Posted January 22, 2021 Hi, Here is a picture of the R1M caliper. It looks more silverish than bronzish in the picture..... But it is bronzish... Since I don't have the fastest color bike, I have to compensate..... Haha See ya bill 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
