Noticed you had AP Calipers.

My zed has Z1R wheels with AP Racing Calipers on the front end, off mounting brackets which came with a couple of stainless steel washers so you could adjust calliper / disc set up. Could measure them if you wish.

Hi Adrian

If I remember correctly, I borrowed the template for the brackets off you? So, mine is exactly the same set up but I'd rather space the discs than the calipers to create more clearance between the wheel and the calipers.

If you are fitting standard mount discs to stock wheels but need a wider track. I recently bought (and fitted) a used CMA front wheel that came fitted with disc spacers for my Z650. They had been drilled and pegged to hold in place on the hub.
In fact, they were machined so well that for a while I thought they WERE part of the hub but I have no clue what discs would have been fitted as I only bought the bare wheel ....

In the end I stayed with my standard forks, fitted the EBC floating discs I already had previous and used caliper adapters to space Nissin 4 pots so I didn't need them. I do have them available for measurements though if anyone needs any ?

The attached though shows an R6 disc adapter fitted to mount an R6 disc to a Zed wheel. (this one isnt one of mine)

What are you looking to fit to what ?

The calipers are spaced by washers presently. I'd rather the discs were spaced to give a bit more clearance between the caliper body and wheel.

Cheers
