No one has the HP racing units, but ChrisH of Fxtreme just did the Shark Racing Big Brake upgrade. He has some photos and feedback in the Fxtreme thread he created.

Can you give a time and tool estimate for doing a non-captive conversion big brake upgrade on a first-gen Tib?

I think Chris did the Captive to Non-Captive big brake conversion in about 5-6 hours. Read those threads though. There are some special tools you need to do it.

If you already have non-captive rotors, it is a 2 hour job.

I feel stoopid tonight, what is the difference in captive and non-captive rotors.
Me gots a 2000 5speed if it helps

Chris..

Hey Trypgod you should have non-captive rotors. I believe they were only on the earlier models up to 99.

1997 and 1998 have captive rotors
1999 forward have non-captive rotors.

Captive rotors have 4 large bolts holding the hub/rotor assembly together.

Non-Captive rotors have 2 small screws (that can be removed).
