For those that uses the LTR front ends on your Hondas , were you able to get the suzuki brakes to work as good as your Honda brakes ?

Thats the only thing I dont like about the switch I made , spongy lever feel , poor braking power.

ur still using trx master cylinder correct.. make sure your rotors and brake caliper brackets are straight.. had a bent caliper bracket on my practice bike and the brakes were spongy.. I figured that's what happens buying used ltr part lol.. in my opinion it handles waaayyyy better tho

I have a LTR, and after riding the 450R for 6 years the brakes was real spongy. I changed to a 450R master cylinder and at first it made no change, but after a few rides it became about 90 to 95% as good. Still have the 450R, so it is back to back comparison. Make sure you have the Honda master and blead them really good and you should not have a problem.

I have 2 hondas with ltr front ends. They feel the same with ltr and honda. They have streamline lines and rotors. Works great for me.

How are u guys doing this front end set up? Ltr spindles? I seen thr LS spindle for this and they are BIG $$$! i figured theres got to be another way.

Yes i still have the Honda master cylinder. I bled the thing to death and the feeling isnt that bad at the lever , but not as good as it was with the Honda calipers , but it brakes like crap on the track thats for sure.

What im going to do is put some new rotors and pads and see where Im at then , and check the brake plate as well.

Hawaiisr : you have to buy your whole front end made for LTR spindles and hubs. I have Six5 design's parts and it is awesome. The steering stem and uppers a-arms are made to work with the LTR stuff.
