Hi all..ive noticed lots of old tdm's with the blue spot r6/r1 callipers up front,,and i have them myself,,much better coating/finish/looks than the old kit and they feel good...but does anyone out there in tdm land know of an upgrade for the rear calliper ??  a modern yamaha one would be nice but all the ones ive looked at have totally different mounting points..Any ideas peeps ????????.

Regards.

None that I'm aware of Mike.  It shares the caliper with some older FZR600's and the like but I don't recall any other model bike rear caliper being suitable.

The rear blue spot caliper of the 9er isn't that much of an improvement, anyways...wouldn't bother, actually.
