Uppdate 2018

Hi Guys,

There's been loads of developments since the last time.  It's hard to think of what new stuff has been added to the store to be honest.
I guess the range of Titanium Caliper pistons has been expanded to cover a lot more bikes now. 
These are great because they save so much weight but will never corrode.
They also reduce the amount of heat getting to the brake fluid which reduces the chances of brake fade.  

Below is the TITANIUM M12 casetalled nut for the awesome RD350LC  THere's also the wheel spindle and spacer that goes with this part and it saves a load of 118gm unsprung weight.

I've modelled up the front wheel spindle for the TDR250 which I may get produced.  Probably in the winter 2018 now

TITANIUM Caliper piston with Nitride coating

Upcoming stuff
CBR1000RR TITANIUM front wheel spindle bolt

Small front Ti caliper piston for the VFR400

43107-MA3-006 Which fits CBR1000F and earlier CBR600F and a few more

THere have been a few price drops, such as disc bolts and I've added a few more bike categories to the range.  Like the super cool NS400R, TDR250 and RD350  

I'm slowly going through the part numbers matching them up with the different bikes to make it as easy as possible for people to get the right part for their bike.  

Hope this helps.  Comment if you have any suggestions and I'll see what I can do

Cheers

CRF450 Titanium rear caliper pistons

OK So the front Titanium caliper pistons are on sale now for the RGV250  VJ21 and VJ22 models.  But they won't fit the VJ23 type bike

I've also just ordered 50 Titanium rear caliper pistons to be made which should be on sale in about a month.  Those rear pistons are huge!  I noticed the thickness of the piston sidewalls was extremely thick too.  Much thicker than say a CBR900 rear piston.  So I've reduced the diameter of the side walls for this piston to reduce weight further.  

Also in production are 50 CRF450/ CRF250 Titanium rear caliper pistons.  

The days are slowly getting longer and warmer.  Time to drag the bike out of the shed for some maintenance

RGV250 Titanium front caliper pistons in production!

Hi, 
Just a quick post to say that two types of front caliper pistons will be on sale in the new year.  They have the same dimensions as the original part but obviously they're half the weight and have a beautiful Titanium Nitride coating which is hard and slippery.  

The key advantage of Titanium caliper pistons, if you don't know is to do with heat.  Titanium is a poor conductor of heat and will keep the heat generated under braking away from your brake fluid.
Really useful for an RGV250 because they all get thrashed!   😂

RGV250  VJ22 Titanium front caliper piston

I'm guessing a weight saving of about 100gm which is good as it's unsprung weight

RGV250K caliper pistons being developed over the winter

Hi,
TITANIUM Front caliper pistons for the NSR250 are now on sale and look amazing in the caliper.   
They have 2mm castellations to allow air to flow inside the piston and help cooling but they also reduce the contact patch with the brake pad and thereby reduce the heat transferred to the caliper piston, which in turn reduces the heat transferred to the brake fluid.
Titanium if you don't know is a poor conductor of heat so will reduce further still heat transference to the brake fluid.

Also on sale are NSR250 (MC28) Titanium front wheel spindles which save 100gm of weight.
They come with a hard Titanium Nitride coating and are the same dimensions as the original part.  

RGV250K (1989) rear caliper piston
Coming at some point in the near future is a Titanium rear caliper piston for the RGV250 but also caliper pistons for the later RGV250T (VJ23) model

I'm not sure if its worth having caliper pistons Nitride coated.  Yes they look amazing in the bright gold colour but whether it aids performance over a non Nitrided piston I'm not sure.   
The belief is that the TiN hardened surface coating will allow the caliper to move more freely.


These are new in.  If you have a YZF-R1 or R6 you'll recognise this banjo type.
THey're M10 x 1.25mm thread type

As people put their bikes away for the winter there are a couple of months where I can get new products made without the craziness at the start of the year where everyone is preparing their bikes for riding.  
So, if you have ideas for new Titanium products to be made now is a good time to get in touch.
The head studs for the Pre 1988 KX500 is the perfect example of this.  The OEM head studs aren't being produced any more and a customer sent me one of his.  I got a small run of the made and they're selling well.  He was very happy with his studs!   :)

That's it for now.  Hope you've enjoyed the blog post and have a look at the titanclassics.com website to see if there's anything you fancy

Dudes!

Hope you've had a great summer.  New stuff that has been developed and some of which is now on sale are as follows. 
Here's a Honda fitting titanium pin that fits many calipers.  Part:45131-HA5-672 

The standard OEM part may corrode if the rubber sleeve perishes allowing water to get in, so this not only reduces unsprung weigh but will keep you caliper maintenance free for longer.

There are 10 Titanium front wheel spindles being titanium nitrided right now for the NSR250  MC28 and the first one will go on my bike of course, with a weight reduction of about 120gm I believe.
Here is also a picture of some castellated Titanium caliper pistons that will be on sale soon too.
The castellation is to allow air to get into the cavity of the piston as well as reduce the contact area with the pad which gets extremely hot.
As Titanium is a poor conduction of heat these pistons will keep the brake fluid cool under race conditions.

KX500 pre 1988 head studs

These studs are M10 to M8 thread and fit models before 1988 when Kawasaki went over to M8 to M8 bolts

That's it for now.  Check out the titanclassics.com website and let me know if there are any parts you think would be good to have in titanium

Titanium Nitrided (TiN) parts

Hi,
It's been a couple of months since the last post.  In that time a load of new product has been put on the site.  For example.  If you're the proud owner of an NSR250 There are TITANIUM front wheel spacers which save about 40gm of unsprung weight but also look gorgeous when fitted

There will be a couple more spacers added to the product line up.  They mainly fit the CBR900RR but a few different bikes too.

The hot product I totally love is the rear caliper piston in Titanium but also Titanium Nitrided. With a super hard, shiny gold surface that's meant to reduce friction. Personally I didn't notice any difference when riding about but there's a 40gm weight saving and they'll never corrode.  
Have a look at the picture below of one next to the corroded standard part. 

Caliper piston fitted to caliper.   

Titanium caliper piston. 45107-MN5-006

Upcoming Titanium products that'll be on sale in September 2016

Below is a Titanium Nitrided front wheel spindle.  Same dimensions as the original part but will save about 150gm of unsprung weight

So, if you had this spindle, the 2 spacers and the nut on the end you'd save about 200gm in unsprung weight!

Other parts being made are head studs for the KX500 KX250 from before 1988 which is M10 on one end and M8 on the other.  You can't get this part any more so KX owners can get this as a new part.  

Below is Titanium Honda part 45131-HA5-672  which fits onto caliper for bikes like NSR250 CR500 CR250 etc. 

I'll probably sell it paired with the smaller pin for this type caliper.  

I'll probably do a caliper Titanium deal where you can get the Ti pistons, the pins, bleed bolts and any caliper bolts.   It'll probably save a lot of weight straight away. 

That's the update for now.  I'll probably do a new order of parts in about a months time and I'll try and keep you updated of whats new on the titanclassics.com website.  

Oh yes.  All products are added to the Titan Classics site first.   Postage to anywhere in the world is now capped at £10.  So if you order a whole load of parts, you'll pay no more than £10.

The site is now also a https://  Website, which means it's a verified site

Cheers
