Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the rear R1 bluespot have the same piston diameters as the fzs600 standard caliper.

I know the pads mount differently, from the bottom leaving the caliper more open to remove water/road crap, but if the pistons are the same it won't affect brake feel at all.

You are correct the pistons in the R1 rear Bluespot are also 38mm diameter

I thought so.


As a patternmaker, I was planning to make a new bracket to fit the R1 bluespot onto the fzs600 as I know they don't fit the standard bracket. However, on finding out they were the same piston diameter, and realising you're not really gaining much, other than being less prone to seizing I decided not to bother.
