I have been researching how to upgrade my front brakes without having someone make new caliper brackets. I have stainless lines at this time and upgraded pads but I want to take it one step further. Our bikes use the same calipers as the SV 650. I did a search for SV 650 brake upgrades and found nothing bolts on directly. A few searches later by searching the SV 650 forum I found that those guys either buy Gixxer forks and swap them or do the following. The calipers from the following bikes are what they are using, either Tokico units form the 2000-2003 GSX-R600, the 2000-2003 GSX-R750, and all model years of the SV1000, or the Nissan Calipers from the following Honda's Honda CBR 600 F4 - F4i All Model Years 1999 to 2006, 929R and 954R 2001 - 2003, or CBR 600RR 2003 - 2004 Model Years, or the Honda RC-51 2001 and up SP2 model years. These are all the same Nissin Calipers.
Then they buy these brackets http://www.svracingparts.com/store/#!/~/product/category=484220&id=7777413
My next step was to determine if these will fit with the 90. A little more research the mounting brackets and they are the same on the SV 650 and the M90. This would lead me to believe that this upgrade should work. I am not sure when I will try this as I am currently between careers but it is a very inexpensive upgrade. I figure if I can find a good set of used calipers, buy the correct upgraded brake pads and brackets total price shouldn't be over $300.00, might be able to get out of it under 250.00.
I am willing to swallow my pride and take donations so if you want to contribute just PM me and I will give you my paypal address. Lets see 20 guys at 15 dollars a piece or 15 guys at 20.00 each and I am there. Just think of all the time you can save in finding out if this will really work and you won't have to risk your own life.
Oh by the way the front rotors are also the same as the SV 650 if anybody really wanted to go crazy upgrading.
