Changing stock calipers for HP4's

[alex]

I see these on eBay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-S1000RR-HP4-Brembo-brake-calipers/282016720768

Just wondering if they make a difference - anyone changed? All I know is it make pads cheaper.

To be honest,Alex,apart from looking better,it doesn't make much difference apart from cheaper pads.You also need to bear in mind the supply lines from the abs unit to the front calipers will need to be changed with either aftermarket lines (or OE HP4 which would be a right PITA to fit)due to the angle of the banjo bolts.

Good to know. Thanks Baz. Not in any hurry. I should use the brakes less anyway!

Brake Calipers

The calipers used on my S1000RR are the only complaint that I have about the 2015 model. They are extremely good but the cost of replacement front brake pads in comparison to other Brembo calipers is very expensive.
