Any recommendations for a brake upgrade on a 93 ZXR750?
Did Eastern Creek yesterday and had a few "oh dear" moments at turn 2 and the right hand hairpin so gonna try changing the fluid and pads but am considering going whole hog and changing either the braking system or the whole front end!
Don't have a huge amount of $$$ to throw at it so wondering what's the best bang-for-buck upgrade?
Cheers

If you dont have braided lines then thats the first thing to change
fluid is cheap
pads
a good strip and clean of the calipers

HEL braided lines, callipers stripped cleaned and rebuilt, DOT4 fluid, new pads already done!
Main issue was the lover coming back to the bar!
Thinking DOT5.1 fluid, EBC pads and possibly a new master cylinder from something newer or maybe aftermarket?

Re: ZXR750 brake upgrade?
some high temp fluid would be my first choice
yes then a newer master cylinder
google zx10 crap brakes , there was a common master cylinder change on the early model 04/05

Lever not coming back, it's long to start with!
Thinking it may be the MC so will change that out for my spare also before I go and buy a new one!
