We would like to introduce you to the maintenance diary of "toshi" who has strengthened the brakes of his famous KZ1300 with a larger diameter disc. He bought a special kit from K-FACTORY to install the Honda disc offset, but due to some reasons, he had to stop the work.

However, when you look at the finished product, you can see how well it works and the high precision of the K-FACTORY spacers, and most importantly, how cool it looks! It gives a feeling that it will be reborn as "KZ1300 that can stop" when it is completed.

In fact, there was a plan that I had been working on in a low-key way. Yes, my family's heavy tank, KZ1300. Although we have changed to Brembo due to the weight of 300kg. I'm a little worried about the braking power of the brakes. (ノ∀`)

If you just want to drive slowly and normally, there may be no problem. But I'd like to keep the braking power as low as possible to match the other motorcycles I own. You want it to feel like it works just as well.

But what do you do when you say you want to increase braking power? Change the pads?

This is the one that caught my eye. Made by K-FACTORY
Front caliper support and disc spacer set for Φ320
That's right. The plan is to make the rotors bigger.

All you need for this kit is 07CBR1000RR Disc Rotors and 40mm Brembo Calipers
I'll use the current calipers.

The only thing left is the rotor, but it is moderately priced if you buy it properly.(;・`ω・´)
