Hi
I need a replacement front caliper for my 2014 VFR 800. I've seen a pair of calipers on Ebay from a 2019 bike. They are Tokiko calipers and look almost identical...but I can't see the pad retention pin's in the Ebay calipers. It looks like an evolution of the design...possibly a different pad retention system? Does anyone know if they are cross compatible...Will I be able to fit them to my 2014 bike with existing rotors etc?
Hi Tim. The calipers on the 2017 onwards model are different from those on your bike. They are similar or the same design as the CBR1000R and have no pad retaining pin. I notice that the fork lowers have different parts numbers between the 2014-16 ( 51420MJMD11 and 51520MJMD01) and 2017 on (51420MJMD31 and 51520MJMD31) models so there is a chance that the mounts were redesigned as well. I cannot absolutely confirm that they won't fit but there is a risk.
Out of interest, why do you need a new caliper?
Thanks...that is really helpful. I think I will hang on for a 2014-2016 caliper to come up.
