Title: 890, 900 or 1000?
Post by: mattbloke on March 06, 2012, 10:11 PM

My KZ1 is coming along now, and thanks to (julien) I now know what calipers are date right, I just need to make my mind up on calipers. I have a set of 890's already, but seems all the reviews I can find seem to have the KZ1 fitted with either 900'e or 1000's. So. Does it really matter? I know the 890's don't look as lush, also is there any real difference between the 900/1000 calipers? HELP!

900 mm. 1000 mm.  It's the reach on the brake  :daumenhoch:

personally,  890's all the way on a kuwie build,  i prefer them to 1000's/900's etc - obviously a personal thing though......
