Title: Silver calipers
Post by: Dudeofrude on 10 September 2016, 09:58:21 pm
I've just noticed that I have silver calipers on my bike. I've had a good look and they don't appear to have been painted or powder coated but they obviously aren't the normal ones that come with this bike. Anyone have any idea what they would be off?  Only silver calipers I can find are from a 04/06 r1 but they looked a more shiney kind of silver?

looks like it must have been coated, never seen bluespots with no bluespot?

From what I've seen online the spots are usually silver on the fz?

well....no idea then  :b


Never seen them all one color but maybe someone has got a silver caliper body and silver bluespots to build a custom caliper....

No honestly id yiu saw them in real life yiu can tell they aren't. The only other thing I thought was if they were powder coated. But seems like it would be a faff about doing that

they are the same as the bracket that holds them...so most likely someone got something done to the caliper/bracket etc
