I have a 2005 XB12Scg and I was wondering if I found an 8 piston caliper could I simply swap out my original 6 piston for it??

I thought I read something here you could but now I can't seem to find it again to be certain.

I'm sure it's better, it has more pistons and more of anything is always better right

You need the caliper, a bigger master cylinder and brake line. You can use the master cylinder off a 1125 or get a larger 19mm radial master cylinder.

It hooks up straight to the fork? It has the same mounting I believe
