I believe it is Dark Horse Moto in the sponsors section making the bracket. |

American Sport Bike has both the bracket (I believe from Dark Horse Moto) and the caliper listed in their store. -Sam |

+1 for Skully's hidden brembo bracket. I used EBC FA47-HH pads and the brakes are now perfect for me. The wheel now comes off easier and the hidden caliper really cleans up the tail. |

The brembo is way better than the stock caliper. You actually have some fell in the pedal now. Not the wooden felling you have with the stocker. |

Skully, Any mods to the brake line? |

It depends on which version of the caliper you get. I believe that some here on BadWeB have used the stock brake line. One of the two that I purchased came with the Ducati line and that's what I used. Keith |

Mine e bay unit fit perfectly with the stock cable. Just make sure the caliper comes with the factory banjo bolt. |

Nice Damnut. I went the other way with my brake line. I went under the swing arm and used the little plastic clip in the inside of the foot peg for an attachment point. I'll try to find some pics when I get home. |

They both *look* like they will work. Make sure that the center to center distance on the mounting lugs is 84mm (3.31") Keith |

what size mounting bolts did you guys use to mount the bracket to the caliper. I have a brembo for a ducati which is definitely the right one. It came with no mounting bolts and nor did the bracket I ordered from American Sportbike. The normal ducati mounting bolts are the 8x20mm or so I thought but they are too large for the hole and threads in my bracket. Im tempted to think they drilled out the holes the wrong size but I don't want to jump to that conclusion yet. |
