I assume it won't heat up as quick but does it have a better feel ect? My next big question is, is it worth it to run two four piston calipers connected with a short line? or just run one 4 piston caliper? I am sure its all preference but any insight would be appreciated.

lmfao that was you fool

try the two four piston one on the foot and the other on the handbrake thats what I ran for the longest time and if you want more then buy the adapter to run a busa rotor on fb with honda caliper

Haha yeah that was me.....you figure out your mad scientist swing arm madness? I ran a 4 piston for my foot brake with my last FTI and hated it. Hopped on Bouffards bike with a single piston fb and much better. Coasters ans fb circles were instantly smoother. Doesn't the silver adapter on the NDC dcb allow me to run a single piston with the busa rotor?

Another stupid question but some input would be appreciated. I am in need of some new calipers for my HB bracket. I need something that mounts up with the stock 636 single piston footbrake and two four pistons for my handbrake. I am wondering what calipers are going to be the best/most affordable and have the most affordable pads....I have heard the NISSIN are much better than the TOKICO but are they really worth the price? Are the R6 monoblocks better? Are there any bigger bikes that have better more affordable calipers that mount up? I have heard of people running GSXR calipers bc the pads are much cheaper ect so again any advice would be appreciated

I'm running 2009 CBR1000RR, 1 for foot and 1 Handbrake. New OEM pads were only $26.
Looking for a nice set to put up front too.

Honda OEM pads are pretty cheap. I think my F4i single piston set was $28 where Kawai wants like $50-$60 for a footbrake set on 04 636.
