TimReg Posted February 7 Posted February 7 Hi I need a replacement front caliper for my 2014 VFR 800. I've seen a pair of calipers on Ebay from a 2019 bike. They are Tokiko calipers and look almost identical...but I can't see the pad retention pin's in the Ebay calipers. It looks like an evolution of the design...possibly a different pad retention system? Does anyone know if they are cross compatible...Will I be able to fit them to my 2014 bike with existing rotors etc? Quote
Member Contributer Presson Posted February 7 Member Contributer Posted February 7 Hi Tim. The calipers on the 2017 onwards model are different from those on your bike. They are similar or the same design as the CBR1000R and have no pad retaining pin. I notice that the fork lowers have different parts numbers between the 2014-16 ( 51420MJMD11 and 51520MJMD01) and 2017 on (51420MJMD31 and 51520MJMD31) models so there is a chance that the mounts were redesigned as well. I cannot absolutely confirm that they won't fit but there is a risk. Out of interest, why do you need a new caliper? 1 Quote
TimReg Posted February 7 Author Posted February 7 Thanks...that is really helpful. I think I will hang on for a 2014-2016 caliper to come up. Quote
