Alternative discs
Another alternative 310mm disc for zxr400 front end conversion is ZZR1100 D. Just bought a secondhand pair of prolites, they fit the 400 front wheel ok. Just need the 1.5mm offset to fit the fireblade calipers and grind a few mm of the inside of the calipers to clear the outer edge of the disc.

I tried them once and couldn't get the calipers on because off the discs beinig too big. How did you manage to get them on ?DAMO666 wrote:Ignore my previous post, discs are 320mm diameter, realised when pads sat too low on disc.
good luckDAMO666 wrote:Going to turn them down to 310mm.
I don't feel so clever now!
I thinck it will be cheaper to sell these and buy others than wasting your money on lathe tools
My ultimate goal is to die young as late as possible !

I split one caliper and bolted half onto the fork leg, then i scribed around the disc marking the inside of the caliper, then ground of caliper material upto said line. But now i will have too much clearance after i turn the disc diameter down to 310. I have access to a lathe so machining is free.Only thing is that 310 diameter will encroach into outer holes in disc, should be ok as long as there are no sharp corners to generate cracking.
