    I just bought a warp 9 sm kit and the caliper bracket to convert to the larger disc dose not fit.
    The problem is that the pins for the floating caliper are closer together than the warp 9 bracket is made for.
    Anyone had problems like this? There was somebody else here who Had a problem with their bracket, but I cannot find the thread.

    My bracket fit but the spacer for the stock wheel is not wide enough for the hub they use. I also put a magnet on my disc to line it up with the speedo sensor hole on the caliper bracket as it will not line up where the old disc/magnet was. My advice on the spacing would be to figure out the difference in width and have someone machine you a wider spacer or your disc will be hard to line up and you will have to pull the fork legs inward with the axle to get the preload somewhat correct. Check your wheel for wobble/slack on the preload after you tighten the axle.

    Lol I didn't even see that.

    I rang a Australian suppler and they said they have only used the larger 80mm brackets never heard of these 70mm ones.

    Received an email Saturday from Warp9,
    We double checked our listing, as well as the listings that our competitors list for brackets for the 449. It should have been the bracket #3 that we sent. But based on your measurements, you need a bracket #7. We will be sending one out today. The bracket #3 has a 79.5mm slider spacing, and the bracket #7 that we are sending has a 69.25mm slider spacing.

    TE's must have a couple of different front calipers, so anybody looking at doing an SM conversion may want to measure the caliper before ordering the Sm Kit.

    The same thing happened to me! I've not been able to find a replacement bracket and motostrano/warp9 never responded to my emails...
    Will do my own search but let us know if you find a solution!

    Yup same thing, went to mount it and the bolts wouldn't line up. Stared at it for about 5 mins thinking that I'd done something stupid.....
    Have the Sam 70mm spacing as you

    a little off topic but do you know if warp9 sell these bracket individually? ( cant see them). where did you buy the kit from here in Oz?
    im in the process of doing a tight arse motard conversion on my 610 using cbr wheels and this might enable me to keep the cbr 310mm front disc.

    cheers
