Hey guys was just a question for those of you who have had to grind the celsior calipers. I have a Jzx100 and I put supra brakes on the front. They fit but they grind against the top lip of the disc under extreme track braking. Just need to grind the caliper a little. Is this something you would leave to the professionals or something I can do myself? Just don't want it to upset braking performance or whatever.

Personally it's not the sort of thing I'd do myself, but I'm not much for getting my hands dirty & doing things i could mess up easily.
Depends how competent you are, I'd guess because you're asking, you'd probably be similar to me.
Might be worth getting a pro to do it for you just to be on the safe side, that's my way of thinking hehe.

I think I'd prefer to have the disc diameter turned down a little, although that would have the disadvantage that you'd have to have every new pair of discs modified.
