S2r 1k forks on s2r 800 advice

[stopintime]

All  S2R800 Dark = 2Pot small calipers as used in M620 Dark/M695, as per DCS

FTFY

the calipers on the 800 are identical to the calipers on the 1000. 

exact.  same. part.

Ducati used the same calipers on almost all their non-superbikes between 99 and about 2005.

Wut?

Yup.  Between 99 and 05.  Notice i excluded some bikes and said "almost".

05 was the first year of the 2piston crapolas on thw s2r800, and the radials on the S4rs, but the 4-piston/2 pad brembos were still used on the S2R1k.

prior to 05, all the SS bikes, Monsters, MTS, etc had the same brembo 4-piston, 2-pad setup with 320mm rotors in front.

SBK had a variety of calipers, but bottom end models had them too.

That was the part that was unclear, especially in the context of an S2R800 thread.

Ah.

I was replying to the m800 comment above.  My bad.

One last question.. With all your help I got all of the pieces needed for the front end rebuilt and will start a new thread on the actual rebuild soon. But I am just curious should I upgrade the rear shock to now perhaps two are 999 rear shock? Or is there a need to any suggestions?

Ride the bike with the new front a while first.

Maybe/probably you'll find out that the shock has become the weak link.

Good luck
