I've wanted to up grade the front break for a while. I only have single sided 2 pot caliper.
If I put a four pot caliper on the front, it should increase the breaking effort.
Do you think one of these will fit/work. HONDA Cbr900rr FIREBLADE 92-97 R/h Caliper
that auction site/itm/122034440036?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
I need to know if the Fireblade caliper. Will fit.. Can someone with a Fireblade please. Measure the bolt spacing centre to centre of the bolt that holds caliper to the forks
If the hole spacing is the same as mine then a caliper may be worth a try?

As per the NC forum ,try different brake pads, this worked on my T100

Im trying to find the write up but I cant ... It explained what the different brake set ups do. First off, it's totally irrelevant how many 'pots' the calipers has as to how hard a bike will stop. The only thing that will increase the braking efficiency is:
1 - Keeping the whole setup clean and moving freely (The big one people miss)
2 - Disc & pad material / size.
3 - The force applied to the area of the braking piston by the master cylinder. If you have 'X' pressure coming from the master cylinder, then thats all thats going to be pushing on one, two or 3 pistons.
So to get better brakes (In order of cost) try a better (Aggressive) compound of brake pads, run braided hoses to stop flex in the hoses, and then upgrade the master cylinder.

nc700-forum.com/forum/nc700-mods/9859-front-brake-caliper-upgrade-part-numbers.html"We are getting there, but pressure is not "divided". Travel of the 14mm master cylinder increases proportionally to the increase in caliper piston area, but system hydraulic pressure is the same for the same lever force regardless of the piston area on the caliper. If 20 lbs, of hand pressure on the lever creates (hypothetically) 500 psi of hydraulic pressure in the hose with a 2-piston caliper, then it will still create 500 psi with a 3-piston caliper. It will simply have to move farther to build the pressure. The total braking force operating on the rotor will be the hydraulic pressure times the piston combined area. So, the total braking force will be greater with the 3-piston caliper by the ratio of the two piston areas."

I'll just put front end of a Fireblde in the but there'll be little difference in braking.?
Unless I change the master cylinder as well?
