    ok so a 250r dual piston caliper will work on a 200x?
    A Rental Car is the only true all-terrain vehicle.
    " I actually think it is good that you have clubs where people can go and enjoy riding these things together. It reminds me of how the prisoners on death row have fun waiting for their turn on the electric chair. Fair enough, the trike isn't an electric chair, but it is about as safe and comfortable as one."

    Yep, but you have to MAKE it work......

    Most of these caliper mods take a bit of filing, drilling or fabrication but it's worth your efforts.....

    I remember a couple yaers ago reading a post about someone using something like CBR brakes with very little mod.
    The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person who is doing it.

    I did not read this whole thread but here is my OPINION. I don't think Honda would have switched to something inferior. I'm sure the pistons on the new single piston set ups are capable of applying more pressure on the pads than the old system or they would not have changed. To me this is kinda like wondering why they switched to inverted forks and debating which style forks is better when clearing the newer evolved set up is the way to go.

    Yes, but the new mx bikes are using twin piston calipers these days, race cars or high end automobiles are using multiple piston calipers these days. They cost more but are more effective, Honda did step backward in a way.
