Blue Spot Rear Caliper - Northern Biker - 19-02-19
Thinking of upgrading my rear caliper for a Blue Spot one, my question is does it matter if it comes from an R6, FZS1000, XJR1300 etc or are they all the same caliper? Thanks in advance.

Don't believe that the R6 caliper is a blue spot.
Re: Blue Spot Rear Caliper - Northern Biker - 20-02-19
Ok my mistake on that, but the main point of my question is are all blue spot rear calipers the same from that era late 90s early 2000s?
Re: Blue Spot Rear Caliper - bandit - 20-02-19
Yes they will all fit but you need the bracket as well to modify to work, also the TRX850 will to but need bracket & torque arm.

only the fazer 1000 and xjr1300 are a fit the rest will nee major mods to work
Re: Blue Spot Rear Caliper - Northern Biker - 20-02-19
Brilliant, just what I needed to know. I thought you could modify the FZS600 bracket to fit the blue spot? Thanks guys.
Re: Blue Spot Rear Caliper - bandit - 20-02-19
Yes you are correct the FZS600 bracket can be modded with a bit of grinding.

Great thanks for the help all, didn't want to end up buying the wrong one!

These require minor filing/grinding to the 600 mounting bracket as the new caliper is a different shape.
The blue spot caliper from other bikes look the same but the mounting bolts have a different spacing between them so you can't use the 600 bracket. The 600 uses a smaller wheel spindle diameter than the donor bikes and possibly other dimension differences so the bracket from the donor bike can't be used either

Thanks again. So to sum up either the Fazer Thou or XJR calipers can be used with the FZS bracket with minor fettling to the FZS bracket?
