Just in case anyone was curious, in the past you may have seen caliper adapters to adapt Brembo radial mount calipers made by QTM, like this:

Per a call to QTM today, they are out of that business and they have 0 of these left. They willingly referred me to TAW Performance....

Apparently, QTM has since dropped that bracket business and TAW Performance has picked it up.

As of today, April 16th, 2013, TAW performance told me verbally that they are currently into development of this same bracket and it will likely be available in 2-3 months. They will have "Supermoto" and "Adventure" tabs on their main website soon too. The reason it is taking so long to develop a bracket that I could make on my manual milling machine in a few short hours is because Brembo has to have everything "just so" and they are very strict in the quality control area, and they don't want any stupidity tarnishing their brand. Makes sense. Fair reason.

The front desk phone girl was genuinely friendly and seemed pretty up on matters, so I look forward to paying them money for cool stuff in the future.

I just went through this spiel a month ago or so. I purchased an SMR FTE radial setup and ran into the same issue. The person I purchased the setup from sent me your thread so I could share with you what I've found. If you are looking for something sooner than later (like I was), there is a company in Italy that makes a specific bracket for both the 100mm brembo and any 108mm spacing caliper. The Beringer FTE Caliper is also a 100mm spacing. The company that makes the bracket is called Purte1 and they are pretty awesome. I ordered my bracket on April 3rd, 2013 and I received it April 15th, 2013. The piece is billet and very nice... cost was 89 Euros, total was $150 USD Shipped to my door. Hope this info helps. Sorry for the shitty pictures... I don't believe in smart phones lol.

Here's the Purte1 Bracket, which is available here now: http://www.purte1.com/index.php/en/store/product/view/487/415

Test fitted on my ktm

Here it is on my bike w/ the FTE Caliper and some 5mm spacers as I am running a 320mm rotor. Its made for the 310.

Just for the record, I have ordered some stuff from Italy before and never had a problem. My BL-Italia tank was shipped at an amazing speed! Every Italian person I have dealt with (while in Italy and over e-mail from here in 'Merica) has been almost unsettlingly friendly. :clap: They have a good track record going with me.


Also, that Purte1 bracket looks amazing. I really cannot imagine a cooler way of making that work. I realize that you get more for your money in aluminum with the QTM one, if ya catch my drift, but that Italian one sure looks sweet.

I also posted that I ordered on April 3rd and it came less than two weeks later. lol.

It's a pretty nice piece... I was surprised when it came in. Uber light too... Only complaint was the bolts that came with it were uber long lol... so I just bought some hardened ones for 4 bucks in 50mm... They are coming in this week. If you need any pictures or any information let me know.

haha... done

 

[cozmo2312]

lol at those bolts.

I have qty (1) QTM Caliper Adapter for a 2008+ YZ450F, for use with 100mm (Brembo or other) caliper. It is QTM part# 331-2028-A. Brand new.

I bought both the 100mm and 108mm at the same time because I had not decided on a caliper. I ended up using a Tokico 108mm, so this adapter is no longer required.

$100 shipped. U.S. only. Other locations...you pay the freight. I can take paypal. PM me if interested.

Wish I would of saw this earlier. Great info! Thanks!

That Italian job looks like it will get the job done. Wanted to pass this along...I just got off the phone with OPP Racing, distributor/ dealer for TAW Performance. Apparently the manufacturing rights weren't released for producing this yet. (by Brembo). oo:
I am told they are still optimistic down the road, but anyone looking for one soon should probably look elsewhere.

 

[derbybrit1]

This looks identical to the QTM parts. See page 6

I ordered it last night, and already have a tracking #. Very surprised. Just hope it works on 2013 KTM CC forks.

Yeah, I forgot to mention they seem super legitimate with shipping and business in general. They may have a repeat customer on their hands, since I sold my XRR and have a 525exc project now. In my personal sexy machined parts opinion, they are the best looking too.
