Thanks for the pictures. The 250r caliper looks a lot like the earlier yfz450 calipers. We are making a lot of progress on the caliper design. I expect we will have some done in about 6 weeks.

Thanks again for all the info and suggestions.

I have the same exact setup as Flash & Flare has. Wanna see some pictures :cool:

Follower....... :biggrin:

I know for the drag guys they remove front brakes. How many people would be interested in dual piston front brakes as well? Desert guys? Asphalt guys?

The YFZ450 front setup will probably cover most folks needs on the front....

 

I didn't run front brakes on my hill/drag bike and the OEM Banshee caliper wasn't enough to slow it down....... A bigger rear caliper that is a direct bolt-on is probably what most folks need. You need to probably use some type of OEM pads from a sport bike to make the product useful. Some of the Formula Atlantic cars run pad from a litre bike on their diff. outputs in an integrated opposed 3 piston caliper design (6 pistons total). I could see making a single caliper setup like that work pretty well, but plunge EDM'ing or gun drilling the fluid ports is a design drawback for such a long style of caliper. :geek:

As of now I plan on making some two piston and four piston all opposing rear calipers. My guess is that the dual piston will work just slightly better than a dual piston yfz450 caliper and the four piston will satisfy all other requirements. Just a guess so far but we'll see.

Thanks

Let me know when I can stop by to pick mine up...

Is the Banshee master and reservior capable of producing the power and fuild capacity needed to support such an application?

That is a good question. It all depends on the size of the piston used. It is definitely a design challenge. :geek:

I believe they will work fine. We will see!

what was the final outcome of this project ?

[trickedcarbine]

On the shelf next to the carbs? It would be sweet but not practical I bet. Although, some drag guys would love an ultra light with rear. Or some type of zero drag that doesn't fall off.

[trickedcarbine]

Could a Billit dual piston caliper be lighter then the 250r or new 450stuff or even the popular Brembo?

Something like this would be tits, but those Beringer brakes are probably 2-3K.

Yes they are on the shelf next to the carbs.  We have been swamped the last 3 years and the carb is a big big project.  We may pick up both these projects in the next year.
