Waldo Jeffers Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I have to say this forum is costing me sooooo much money. I think I’m single handedly keeping the economy going. 😂 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heli ATP Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 That makes two of us. I think I'm done every day. Now contemplating new levers. Gotta spend that stimulus money. But we could be doing worse, right... 😁 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today it’s a dual USB outlet; tomorrow it’s R1 brakes and a triple-adjustable shock. 😇 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member 1moreroad Posted April 21, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted April 21, 2021 I hate it that Revzilla shows me my order history so easily. That should be hard to find. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotors, spacers, calipers, and master cylinder? And, of course lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhotoAl Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Don't forget $$$ or maybe $,$$$ :-) Clicked on this thread just after looking at the the new leavers thread! This comes the day after Apple's new product announcements - I watched, wished and drooled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotors, spacers, calipers, and master cylinder? And, of course lines. My set up is 320mm rotors, pads, caliper spacers, and steel lines. The calipers and master cylinder are still the stock FJ components. I went with EBC rotors to fit a 2016 R1, but you can also use OEM Yamaha R1 rotors and save a few bucks. EBC HH pads. Unfortunately, the spacers may be hard to source, since I got them as part of a group purchase here on the forum several years ago, and the member that made them is no longer around here. I recall someone else making up a few sets more recently... does anyone remember who that was? @roadrash83, maybe? It’s a nice setup, and is a noticeable upgrade from the stock brakes on my 2015 FJ. I don’t think anything changed with the stock brakes on the newer Tracers, so it should be equally as effective on the new bikes as well. Honestly, just swapping to good HH pads would be a big help, but I’m kind of a hardware junkie and am glad I did the rest of the big brake components as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo Jeffers Posted April 22, 2021 Author Share Posted April 22, 2021 I have done the EBC HH pads both front and back and that did make a big difference for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look like they would more naturally fit the clamps if the lines were parallel to each other. Red 2015 Tracer, UK spec (well, it was until I started messing with it...)

They look like they would more naturally fit the clamps if the lines were parallel to each other. After careful research and consideration, I have zero clue why I ran them that way... The Galfer instructions were rather vague, but clearly show what I have here as the routing in their install guide. That said, the original routing did have the crossover line in the rearmost clamp, and I think I'll end up swapping them to see if it looks more natural. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And... you were right @BBB 😉 Not sure why I didn’t do it this way to begin with: 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
