Looking good Taylor. Just a quicky mate, I've just seen the brembo brake in one of your pictures. Are there any other bikes brake components that are compatible with a 07 kxf450

not that i'm aware of. the brake caliper adaptation is taking me a LOT of work to get fitting. its a complete new custom bracket.
honestly if youre trying to 'upgrade' your brakes then the easiest route would be say a brembo or better master cylinder and braided SS line.
even the sxs caliper that i'm using is different mount location than the stock brembo caliper.

thanks mike!
yes they are very heavy duty! as far as I know, service honda uses solid billet rails as well vs bent tubing.
its going to add a bit more weight, but its just a better system in my opinion. perfectly square, no weak points and better fitment. also dont have to worry as much about needing heat treatment.
