| Not sure why Suzuki put the calipers on these bikes backwards; silver on black, black on silver, but it's backwards!
I have silver calipers I'd like to trade with anyone who has a silver bike, with the black calipers. I think it make both bikes look better!
Yes, I could paint them, but I'd rather swap if someone out there with a silver King wants matching silver calipers as well.
Shoot me a PM if interested. I think it's a very easy swap. My bike is very low miles, and the calipers look brand new.
thanks! -Boomer |

| Totally agree with your thinking, I’ve got a Black B-King and was lucky enough to pick up a black set of callipers off eBay so I now have a spare silver set in the shed. Looks so much better now.
I would recommend holding out on getting a black set before painting your originals as the paint is unlikely to perfectly match the calliper mounts on the fork legs.
Good luck with the swap but keep a look on eBay you might get quicker result there and then you could sell your silver set later. |

| All good ideas, thanks guys. If I can't find someone with a silver bike that wants to swap, I'll do that. Then again, the silver looks cool; Brembo's are silver after all.  |

Were they a direct bolt on? Lines, spacing, etc the same? |

| Ordered a set of black Tokico GSX-R calipers off Ebay to try out. They are not Monoblocks, but I don't care; I can't tell the difference in my normal street riding. I am 100% happy with the stock Nissin's to be honest.
They're off an '08-'09 600/750 (same as '06 1000 I think), and some bike salvage place in FL is selling them for $19.95 a pair, with lines and pads (I won't use the lines.)
I'll let y'all know if they fit, and how they feel. For $20, not much risk.
