S2R Front Brake Upgrade
«

Got around to upgrading the front brakes on my S2R 800. I really didn't have much problems with the stock setup but it was time to replace the pads so decided to go for the upgrade. I went with the goldline 4 piston 2 pad calipers but in black and 320mm black, yes black, snowflake rotors converted to full floating and a larger 16mm coffin reservoir. Converting the rotors was a bit of a hassle but nothing too crazy. After installation of everything I just got to break in and test ride the bike tonight and holy crap, what a difference. I really need to adjust to the massive increase in braking power. I'll try to get some pics up tomorrow. Fred at Yoyodyne has more of these black snowflake rotors if anyone's interested. I am not affiliated with Yoyodyne in any way, just a satisfied customer.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I love the upgrade. I went from one to two 320 gold line's it made a world of difference on my old 620.

It's mentioned by the OP - it should be 'master', not 'reservoir' though.
