250r calipers on a ex

[j450rking]

hey i want to know if there is a kit to make 250r calipers fit a 400ex and if so would it be worth it

[440EXjay]

Yes Baldwin Motorsports makes a bracket to fit them on 400ex spindles. It is a popular conversion for the 250R guys to go to a 400ex spindles on there bikes. Hence the bracket.

[j450rking]

why would they put ex spindles on a 250r?

[j450rking]

is there a site i can get them at and what do they cost normaly

They'd use 400EX spindles because they're Aluminum, and the old 250R's are just painted steel i believe. I have both quads, they're just aluminum and lighter on the 400ex...thats pretty much it. and if you dont want to pay more money to get the calipers of a 400ex. you could use that bracket to use 250R calipers on it.

Thinking about doing it to my R eventually...just one on a list of hundreds of mods i'd like to do.

[j450rking]

would't the 250r calipers be better seeing as they are twin piston calipers and the ex only has one?

[TheNewn]

Oh, didnt even occur to me. Yeah you're probably right, i was just outside looking at my 250R's front set up. makes more sense.

[Barrymaxx]

Do you notice a diffrence between the brakes on the R and the brakes on the EX?

[j450rking]

yeah i would think that it would be alot more braking power then the ex's setup
