Condor Posted January 26, 2018 Share #2 Posted January 26, 2018 Has anyone found a bolt on 2 pot caliper for our RSV's? I guess the question would be why do you need one? However that said how about a 1stGen-MKII?? Don't know if it would fit, but it might?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
videoarizona Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share #3 Posted January 26, 2018 I guess the question would be why do you need one? However that said how about a 1stGen-MKII?? Don't know if it would fit, but it might?? That's a good question. Because my "olde phart" right foot will not take "NO" for an answer. And twice now I've found myself going sideways at 75mph when a nut case decided I didn't exist and cut me off. In that split second, I've locked up the rear twice. I would like far less braking power back there since my foot won't listen to reason...despite practice and years of riding. A 2 pot rear caliper would help, I would think.

RedRider Posted January 26, 2018 Share #4 Posted January 26, 2018 There was a metering valve setup done by one of the members that addressed this problem. Let me see if I can find it. Edit: Here it is: LINK RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.E. Coyote Posted January 26, 2018 Share #5 Posted January 26, 2018 It really surprise me that this bike never got abs. Same with it being an option on a Wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Here it is: LINK RR i think that's Rick Buttler... It put kinda a delay on the reaction time. Slows your jamb time down so your brain can kick into gear.... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grubsie Posted January 26, 2018 Share #7 Posted January 26, 2018 I have been thinking about trying these. They sure sound like they are better than stock braking. http://www.tcbbrakesystems.com/technical-tcb.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABS isn't slated to be added to this platform until 2040. RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The previous one's had reports of leaking. No ETA on when the new units will be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and they are pissed that they let their patent run out and a bunch of idiots jumped in the market with dubious copies of their design. So a new design is needed... Ugh...

B.E. Coyote Posted January 31, 2018 Share #11 Posted January 31, 2018 In one of Rick Butlers posts about the valve, he mentions he went to a two piston rear brake. Not sure if it is a simple bolt on caliper, but you may want to send him a note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSky Posted January 31, 2018 Share #12 Posted January 31, 2018 That is why I won't delink the front left caliper from the rear caliper on my Gen I. It's the predecessor to ABS. I think the Goldwing has linked brakes if it doesn't have ABS doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Goldwing has linked brakes if it doesn't have ABS doesn't it? My 1st gen is still linked as well. But I don't think I've heard of 1st Gens locking up on dry pavement. Since I changed out my rear caliper with one from an R6, I'm pleased with the brakes of the 1st Gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
