Not the same design at all, the pistons are way bigger than the standard FZS600 so offers loads more bite. Pad area larger too.
Bizarrely, despite more stopping power (and less inclination to seize up) the caliper still retains a decent amount of sensitivity re rear wheel lockups, although you might lose that with a braided rear hose fitted.
I've owned a TRX850, had a FZS600 and now have the 1000 so have experience of all caliper options.
Bottom line is that its a decent upgrade that works well, dont know of anyone on the old site who wasnt pleased with the conversion for their 600.
