S2R1000 to S2R800 Front Brake Swap?

[Dariusz]

My question is very simple, I have a 2005 S2R800 and I like to know if I can put the discs and calipers from a 2007 S2R1000 without modifications (direct swap).

I think this change should greatly improve the quality and braking power of my bike... correct?

Thanks in advance

Yes, but you will need custom brake lines at ~ $ 130.

Recommended master cylinder size for those calipers is 16 mm - compared to 15 mm on an 800.
Some just keep the 800 master - it's ok, but a little 'softer' than a 16 mm.
New 16 mm is about $ 100

Thanks a lot for your ansver. I think to buy the master and the lines from the same S2R1000... it is enought?

[stopintime]

That will be all you need then

The braking power is MUCH better.

  Thanks a lot

I have some stock S2R1000 discs with 6000 miles that I'll sell you

Did you buy the rotors from the 1000 also?

The rotors are different. The 800 has 300mm dia w/ no offset. The 1000 uses 320mm w/ 10mm offset. The 320 rotor were used on just about every ducati from at least 2000 (and probably a good bit further back) until the appearance of the 300mm rotors in 2005. At that point the 'bigger' monsters still used them

Yes the idea is change all, disk and calipers

I did this on my 695.  I got a new 16mm master, new lines, 4 pot goldline calipers and 320mm rotors.  Everything just bolted on perfectly.  The hardest part was getting the old rotors off - they'd used red loctite.  I found a hot air blower (made for heatshrink) and an impact wrench was needed.

The new brakes are incredible.  Wonderful feel, amazingly powerful, and really progressive.  Mine was a goldline kit, which had coffin master (matches my clutch).  I think S*R 1000 masters have separate reservoirs, so you might want to take the clutch master as well, if only to keep your bike from looking lopsided.

Is the 696 coffin master a 15 or 16. I have done everything but the master upgrade & have access to a free 696 master but have been 'told' it won't make a difference

16 mm.

Good idea about the clutch master... thx
