A year ago I went down the path of de-linking my VFR brake system. The front brakes were pretty straight forward using the VTR setup. However, in the rear, it was a bit more involved. I didn't want to use the OEM caliper and modify it. So, I designed an adapter that mounts on the existing hanger to mount a standard Brembo P32 caliper. If you are planning to de-link your VFR800, 5th gen, this is a good solution for the rear brake. It gets rid of the large OEM caliper. This adapter bolts on to the stock hanger and will mount a Brembo P32 caliper in the same OEM underslung position.

The gear shift and brake really needed to be adjusted. Shifting arm of course was a piece of cake. I lowered the brake pedal as low as I could and of course it wasn't far enough. So I go back to VeeferCanuk's thread here:http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/topic/34097-bls-footpeg-block-install/?p=408490 The part specifically that started this whole damnedable mess was trying to figure out how to take off the nut that Veefer circled i
