4 pot Brembo

[nick7]

You want to put all that braking power through spindly forks and a frame prone to cracking..is this wise? Get a louder horn, look further ahead brake earlier...Mind you, i do enjoy the braking on my Husky 701sm, but theres no much to stop! Cornering abs etc etc too, apparenty..

The adapters on Guzzi power look like they are for Marzo forks?

And the Marzo adaptors don't even come close, tried em.

Get your frame braced before it cracks, if it hasn't already. Only reason I spotted the crack in mine was because dirt and oil had made the crack stand out black against the sliver frame when I wiped the surface dirt off. Black frame and you may not see it.

Hey I know that bike…..

Close up reveals Guzzi tec, sadly not around??
Wonder who bought up their remaining stock…..??View attachment 83760

I have the GuzziTech caliper hangers, the mounting holes on the hanger to the fork legs do not have threads, maybe this method shown in the picture uses nuts on the bolts? ???

Guzzi tech is still around but under a slightly different name now : https://www.guzzipower.com/

GuzziTech hangers are now offered by Guzzi Power but only for Marzo forks. Yes, the GuzziTech hangers can be used for discs 280mm or 300/310mm.

I have used the 4-pot Brembos and Guzzi hangers going on 15 years now, nothing has snapped or cracked so far, maybe me occasionally.

They look like they'd be a piece of piss to make

Yeah mate, for some people.

Thanks for all the replies, greatly appreciated. I might have to pull them off the bike and see if I can find someone to make a pair adapted to the Ceriani fork mount

Hand made a few adapter plates for both types of early and later forks, safe side, mild steel at 5-6m/m, spacers to suit for Nissin 4 pots. For others ( i see button head SS, could be wrong ) already "adapted" may like to reflect on the tensile rating for SS, given it could be any grade these days, as standards are not what once were, A2 A4 316 304.

Must use here, non plated 8.8 or 9.8, also check shear rating which for me precludes 12.9 ( had that 12.9 grade sheer on the fairing post on RGS, bloody dangerous ). HTH j.

For Marzo, same as Guzzipower.

Here ya go Dave, Is how I made mine. Pattern out of perspex and styrene, could be plywood/mdf.
Then you need to look for a new best friend with a CNC mill, or in my case my old mate Dirk who did his magic and they turned out sexy as.

I did contact Paddy and he tells me he has never had them for Ceriani forks as used on our Lavs, and Ducks.

100 % correct Bruce and yes the calipers are the same apart from the mounting holes, Ceriani threaded Marzo no thread.

Not correct. The tapped early type calipers have their mounting surface machined on the front face, while the thru-hole type have it on the back. That means that if just putting a thread insert into late calipers to use on Ceriani forks, the mounting surface is 'as-cast' so the fit of the caliper is a bit hit and miss. The ones I've converted I take a little skim over the mounting surfaces (requires the caliper to be stipped) to make sure they are flat and square. You can get by without doing this, some will fit better than others depending on how the casting was originally machined.

I can see why nobody makes adapter plates commercially for Ceriani when the BMW calipers basically bolt right on. That would be my choice, Dave why not sell those 40mm ones you have on to another inmate here and get some BMW calipers? Makes it easy.

If they are going onto a pair of Ceriani forks, this is a simple and inexpensive solution:
Get a set of 4 pot Brembos like these, mine came from a 2001 BMW R1200C.
All you need are four alloy (steel would also work) shims 3-6mm (arrowed) and a set of longer fixing bolts to suit.
46% more pad area, much improved feel from an OEM PS15 and significantly greater stopping power.
The whole lot came to less than $250 US, including a new set of Brembo Carbon Ceramic Pads.View attachment 83688View attachment 83689

As the front calipers on my 3CL with Ceriani forks need to be rebuilt, I am trying the calipers off of a BMW R1200C as recommended. They were just delivered today and were only $80 for the set which is cheaper than the cost of the seals and pistons for the old calipers.
