yeah but running spacers is a lil sketchy to me. when doing something like that your going to have to buy longer bolts which creates more leverage and leave a greater risk for something to fail, front ends go through alot of stress. i like to be safe then sorry. i just say that bc ive been sorry before and its taxed my ass financially and physically a few time later on down the road.

1/8 wouldnt be that big of a deal, but there is a 1 inch difference between the 0304 and 0506. thats a big deal when spacing. if, lets say the 08 zx10 are an inch bigger than the 0506 then i would look at other options other than spacing the calipers

The main reason RADIAL calipers are used is so you can space out for differnt size discs.

The "stress" on the front calipers is only limited to the tires grip and the steel bolt is way stronger than the cast fork leg it bolts into.

Even if the disc is 20mm bigger diameter thats only a 10mm spacer.

People run spacers on race bikes all the time... whether or not it's right I've never heard of any failing.
