    Having a few problems with my brakes, stripped them down a few times and replaced the seals a third time now on the front.

    Going through pads too fast too and now the disc's are getting buckled and calipers now rattles.

    Does anyone have any suggestions or disc's or calipers for a 1994 model

    Thanks, seen a few over here on ebay but they bloody expensive to replace, for new ones £250 for the discs.

    Will have to keep looking, just have to try not to use the brakes and dodge obstructions.

    I haven't had any issues like your on my 93 vfr, which has over 50K on it. I bought it with 37K and haven't had to replace the front pads yet, though I have noticed that the lever action seems a bit spongy. I have bled both sides and have new fluid in it. Maybe it's time I put on ne pads and some steel braided lines, eh?

    likely the lines, rubber deteriorates over time.

    Gimme a few weeks, and I'll have a set for you off of my '96. Lines, calipers, and rotors. I'm just waiting to put the 954 front end on mine, and get everything up to speck before I start off loading my older stuff. If you're interested, let me know. If you don't need them, no worries, and please don't feel obligated to get back to me. I'm just trying to help someone out, as many ppl on this website have done for me.

    Thanks to all, am now looking to changing the lines as its the only thing left to try, a mate has just brought a second CBR1000 and ensures me that they have the same disc's and calipers so I'm getting them from his, look the same.

    Douglas, How much would you be wanting if these dont fit and do you know how much postage is.

    Thanks
