I believe it is Dark Horse Moto in the sponsors section making the bracket.

American Sport Bike has both the bracket (I believe from Dark Horse Moto) and the caliper listed in their store.

+1 for Skully's hidden brembo bracket.

I used EBC FA47-HH pads and the brakes are now perfect for me.

The wheel now comes off easier and the hidden caliper really cleans up the tail.

The brembo is way better than the stock caliper. You actually have some fell in the pedal now. Not the wooden felling you have with the stocker.

Skully,

Any mods to the brake line?

It depends on which version of the caliper you get. I believe that some here on BadWeB have used the stock brake line. One of the two that I purchased came with the Ducati line and that's what I used.

Nice Damnut.

I went the other way with my brake line.
I went under the swing arm and used the little plastic clip in the inside of the foot peg for an attachment point.
I'll try to find some pics when I get home.

I know the first one will definitely work. I am 87.843% sure that the second one will too.

They both *look* like they will work. Make sure that the center to center distance on the mounting lugs is 84mm (3.31")

what size mounting bolts did you guys use to mount the bracket to the caliper. I have a brembo for a ducati which is definitely the right one. It came with no mounting bolts and nor did the bracket I ordered from American Sportbike. The normal ducati mounting bolts are the 8x20mm or so I thought but they are too large for the hole and threads in my bracket. Im tempted to think they drilled out the holes the wrong size but I don't want to jump to that conclusion yet.
