luvmy40 Posted May 11, 2020 Share #3 Posted May 11, 2020 You will need: A set of R6 calipers, '03'04 fit but there may be other years that fit as well. Either an R6 front master cylinder or a Gen1 Mk2 front master cylinder. I highly recommend Skydoc_17's delinking brake line kt but it may not be an absolute necessity. The calipers bolt right on. the rest of the job is self explanatory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairiehammer Posted May 12, 2020 Share #4 Posted May 12, 2020 The calipers bolt right on. Au contraire. The R6 calipers will not bolt onto his 1984 forks. To use the R6/R1 calipers one must have 1986 or newer forks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand corrected. For some reason I thought it was only the 83 that needed different forks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
