They are good. Easy to make the adapter and you can buy them on e-Bay for $50~$100 pair. This is Mikes bike and he did them himself

Yeah, but does he have Fab Kevin's "punch in the nose" guarantee?

He's a fabricator. Quite well known to custom builders and guys who modify motorcycles beyond catalogs.

Mike made them himself out of aluminum. He made them for himself, and did not rely on anyone else. Mike is a HDF member and does not sell anything. Like most here you always get a smart *** answer when I was trying to convey to you that they work well. If one will wait you can buy the Tokico 6 piston calipers off of e-Bay for $50~$100. There is not much talent in buying something, anyone can do that. I make many original parts also and do not have to resort to the BS about some punch in the nose crap. WTF is the matter with you?

Nothin wrong with supportin a small fab shop, and Fab Kevin really does have a punch him in the nose guarantee. If you arent happy he will let you sock him in the nose. I am all about hearing how you like the new mount. What Tokico Caliper did you end up with? Meaning what bike was it originally from? I been wantin to upgrade my caliper to a stronger 6 piston unit. Dont forget to post pics...

i got my caliper off ebay for 24 bucks shipped form a 98 suzuki srad. if i had access to good materials and tools then i wouldve made it myself but... i dont and brakes are one of those things that i dont want to go through a "trial and error" sort of thing to figure out what works best. rather have someone thats done it before build the mount. that and hes charging 90 so everyhting said and done ill have under 150 for the set up... not bad in my opinion seeing that the pm 6 pot goes for 650 i think just for the caliper.

Sometimes you have no sense of humor at all.
