Two seat options . One is a recovered standard seat . Other is a period gulliari katana seat . I am thinking of having the gulliari seat recovered but keep the rear quater as is for the decals on the seat

Hi,
I have been looking to upgrade my Tokico 6-pots to Brembos but have never seen a set that bolt straight on, until I saw this picture, from a Busa on Eblag.
The seller was a dealer and they were on the bike when he took it in as a p/x.
Anyone know what they are off? I didn't think Brembo every made calipers with this spacing?
Jon
not brembo , zx7rr iirc toccico 90mm spacing

Took a gamble , saw a new koso unit on a build at the manchestwr show . Koso rx2n these show revs to 10k revs .
Idea was i wonder if i can get that to fit into a standard katana 1100 gauge pod ?
So contacted digital speedos spoke to jon and ordered the unit
I will try to get a 3D printed in lay for the original gauge pod .

Engine into frame is always a fun part of your day . Best method is engine on its side on a soft cloth chock engine on wood . Remove engine cam cover breather . Then lower frame over the engine .fit front engine mount bolt and rear engine mounting bolt . Then with the help of a friend . Lift frame with engine upright .
Then the build can start .
