Z750 front end conversion to Gixxer 1000
If thats the case,then you would have to run busa brakes,and im telling you,you wouldnt want that,they are pretty average.apparently hayabusa forks go in pretty easy
But if you did decide to go that way,i picked up a set of 05 gold forks for my busa off ebay in the states for $600 all up.

Dont take life too seriously,remember no one gets out alive!

Bump.
Just for fun. Awesome thread Rob, nice to see how the Z came to life
Good read, shows what can be done with not a lot of money and some initiative.

Hey Rob!
How'd you go with the stock M/C and the radial brakes. Much better feel / bite or did you change to a diff M/C. Putting ZX6R radial calipers / adaptors on the ZRX and at this stage planning on keeping the stock ZRX M/C.
Thanks,
TC

The combo of Stock zeddy M/C & gixxer calipers were rock solid, everyone that grabbed a hand full of front brakes could not believe how firm they were, but
it was a fluke cause it could have gone the other way & I didn't know until they were bled. The end result they were fantastic, best feel from brakes I have ever had.

Thanks Rob!
I was hoping you'd say that. I'll go with the stock M/C and see how it goes before even thinking about changing it.
Cheers
