Has anybody mounted Stylema (sp?) calipers on an 1199?

Styler · Dec 28, 2020

I have some brand new (4 miles on them) calipers off a 2020 V4 that I would like to put on my 2012 1199.
Of note however, is that the bleed screw and the brake line connection points on the Stylema calipers are reversed; that is, on the M50 Monoblocks, the bleed valve is on the outside of the caliper (side furthest from the wheel) and the brake-lines attach on the inside of the caliper (side closest to the wheel), whereas on the Stylema monoblocks, it is the opposite.
Has anybody successfully done this mod and if so, what do I need to know that I don't know?
Thanks for your consideration.

Looks to me like you will need to either use V4 brake lines or get new ones made as i dont think the OEM ones for the M50 will bend in the correct way to allow the Stylema to fit. Otherwise it should all be the same. Same size pistons so same master will be fine. Same pads yada yada. If you have ABS deleted already or plan too then your decision should be simple.

Probably not recommended but in the get er done fashion you could unscrew the bleeder and banjo and swap them so that they are in the sane position as the M50 and then it would be a direct swap. I have seen a clutch master used on the brake side like this. Just swapped the bleeder and banjo bolts and used the master upside down.

Thanks.
Indeed, I was considering the “get-Er done” approach; but front brakes are important, so I thought it was best to solicit opinions from those with more knowledge on the subject.
... and as an FYI to others that might respond, I have left the ABS system in-tact.

Sorta like saying accidentally on purpose : )

If you have the time and resources(money) then just get a custom made line from the ABS unit and another one made for the cross over line from one caliper to the other. Or possibly some OEM v4 lines would fit but you really only need the 2 lines so getting some made seems like easiest option and guaranteed to fit

V4 specific lines will probably work, but definitely do not get OEM ones. I've never owned a twin Panigale so I'm not sure if it is the same case, but OEM V4 lines have tons of that non flexible steel ......... If the location of the ABS pump and everything else isn't identical, it would be near impossible to get them to work.
