The suzuki Gsxr k1 calipers may fit, you'll need to check. I know htey fit a few kwaks, I used to have them on a project but I had to turn up some adaptor bushes (You can get shouldered screws instead)

Hello mate.

I used to have a ZRX 1200R. Awesome machine.
Anyhoos,there's a really good forum (www.zrxoc.com)
Some of the guru's on there know as much about zrx's as the guru's on here know about falco's.

Indeed they will be, and cheaper for pads too.

Joined the ZRX forum, seem a good bunch though i'm not allowed in the bar until i get to 20, (posts that is) long time since that was my age.

Seems you can do as much to the ZRX as you can to the falco.

Hi mate, the K1 calipers are 4 pots. The 6 pots are the same fitment I believe but like you I prefer the 4 pots

Thanks Wayno, i never realised they were 4pots..fit straight in ya say?

having been on the zrxoc, it appears that rf900 calipers are a straight swap no less, plus being an unpopular machine may pick a set up cheap :smt003

I can't guarantee they will be a straight fit, but if fitted some to a zxr400, a mate has fitted some to a zzr1100 and I heard they will fit the zrx, you'll have to check the hole pitch, and you will definitely need some top hat spacers or shoulder bolts. And the the tokico's look loads better
