- 42944-08 Caliper, Frt Rt $144
- 42941-08 Master Cylinder Silver lever $73 (42941-10 should be the same but have a black lever as the 2010 XR's come with black levers)
- 41736-04 Caliper Banjo (x2) - Can be reused from old setup $4 each
- 41737-04 Master Cylinder Banjo - Probably can be reused from old setup $5

- Goodridge 592-03-M12CH This is one of the few banjo bolt fittings I could find to fit the Master Cylinder. $18
- Drag Spec. Brake Tee (from J&P - here) $15
- Russel 1/8″ 90° male pipe fitting, AN-3 male end (from J&P here…but Goodridge and other make similar) $8

- Brake cleaner
- The rotors are standard floating rotors for XL. You may choose from any that will fit the XL.
The XR uses the same as the XL (just different patterns).
The ones listed are the Vivid Black Floating rotors for XL's.
You are presumably doing this to improve your brakes, so don't be cheap and use stock rotors…get floating ones.
Tools:
- 9/16“, 3/4”, 5/16“, 10mm and 12mm sockets
- T40 Torx socket
- 3/16” and 5/16“ hex drives (could use allen wrenches)
- Ratchets
- 3/8”, 7/16“, 1/2” wrenches
