Verslagen provided me a link to this old thread......and it is possible to use the caliper with a bit of welding, drilling and tapping. It will be a few weeks before I can let you know if it is worth the effort. The piston size should provide a 24% increase in braking force, this SV650 caliper has 2 pistons that are 34mm....the stock caliper is a single 43mm piston.
I first put the bracket in my lathe and machined off the raised portion that provides a thicker thread area.
I then welded up the original holes.
I then ground the welds nearly flush, then cut an extension piece to weld on. I left the extension large so it could be welded without burning it up....the actual extension needed was much smaller.
Here is the bracket cut to size and tapped 10x1.25. I then welded nuts on the back side to provide more thread area.
Here is what it looks like mounted. If I had it to do over again I would weld the extension with more area on one side - so the caliper could be rotated closer to the fork leg.
I need to order some new brake pads, and while they are in the mail I am going to ride with the stock caliper for a bit so I remember what it feels like. Then when I mount the new one I will see how it works. If it works well, I will probably paint it silver like the original one. I believe I spent about 6 hours cutting and grinding on this...I sure hope it works!
