What size are the stock monoblock front calipers on a 2008 HYM "S" ?

Are they 100mm or 108mm off-set?

Thanks for your help.

100mm for radial brakes on most European bikes (Ducati, Aprilia, KTM, MV Augusta etc). 108mm on the Jap bikes (except the new R1)

CK, are you wanting to buy a set of monoblocks?

Thank you.
I thought they were 100mm on our HYM's I just wanted to be positive.

No I have the stock cast monoblocks that came on it, I am just looking to get the Billet ones.

I've noticed that Braking do not make the wave rotors for the HYM.
Do any of the other model bikes cross over?

The stock cast monoblock calipers are good calipers. If you are looking at new rotors, stick with the cast monoblocks and go all out for a set of Braketech CMCs. You'll improve your braking plus the handling )loose about 2kgs of rotating mass).

Braking does make rotors for the Hyper, just not imported into the USA. I emailed BrakingUSA and thats the answer I got.

I have Galfer rotors.

Yes I know they are excellent calipers, I am just looking for the same set I have on my race bike, the billet monoblocks with Braking rotors.

I guess it's a look thing as well as a feel thing too.

I have similar set-up on my Paul Smart (same radial calipers) and I like the looks. I like the feel I get, none of the vagueness I got with the stock rotors when I first apply the brakes.
