Hi all...
I am giving very serious thought to fitting the 4 pot caliper conversion to my bike.
I am thinking of the pre refurbished ones from here:

The problem is when I search for pads for the SV100 there seems to be 2 different designs..
Type 1:

or Type 2:

What are your thoughts?
think its the 2nd ones you will be after - Ive refurbed a fair few set of 4 pots and never seen a set of calipers using the 1st set
Hope this helps

Hi Speedy,
As I've found out it comes down to the year/model of bike the calipers came off, my Nissin's are off a blade but I didn't know what year, so took me a while to sus out via the bits I was ordering pins/seales etc.
Coincidently I'm going to power House on Wed to trade in a spare pair that I can't get to work!

£259 outright purchase :smile2:
Yes Notty but I get a refund of £100 when they have received my original calipers..
They are totally refurbished and painted to a colour of your choice..
Plus all the bolts are stainless ones..
Yeah, yeah I know I could buy crappy knackered ones and do them up myself but lately I am suffering severe "CBA" . . . .

ah i read it as you get the £100 back when you send 4 pots back ? :smile2:
Noooo
I contacted them and they are fine about allowing the £100 on my 6 pots for their 4 pots..
They said "as long as your are serviceable and not seized"..
Mine are NOT seized and are definitely serviceable.

wow thats a good idea...well done Simon :)
Buy cheap pair off e bay (not seized)
Then trade in against serviced/painted set with warranty!
I'm giving them my Calipers plus £70 and get the refurbed pair off them, total cost to me £100 👍
