The big question is: Will that rear disk, caliper carier fit my 998?

Thumbs up
needed some 'strange' 'M7' size bolts to fit the caliper to the MotoCorse bracket

ProBolt to the rescue with some rather tasty M7x20 Ti with drilled and dished out heads ! very nice indeed, may have to invest in the ones for the front calipers too

I bought some of the flanged TI bolts, like wot you got on your rear caliper, for my front calipers and they dont fot as the flange is to big.

I need to get them cut down.

I shall post some pictures to put that old nail of yours to shame!
