Enough, back to the topic....

So, I got the Scram 440 caliper. Will get it fit post Ramadan as my garage is closed till then.
But it seems a direct fit. The caliper is a 30-32 mm as compared to our stock 26mm.

As Sam already mentioned in another post, the braking on the scram 440 was better and I am hoping it will make things better on the 411 as well, combined with my radial brake levers.

did you change the disc as well?

Nope. The scram 440 also comes with a 300mm disc like the Himalayan. So I plan to first check the new caliper with the stock himalayan disc.

I do have a 310 mm disc with me that matches the disc mounts of Himalayan 411, but would need to create a mounting bracket for the caliper. So not planning to use that yet. Anyway it might be an overkill for the Himalayan.

the 300mm floating Brembo disc used in the 535 conti fits - I have used it on my BS3 Hima. fantastic results with the Brembo caliper going along with it

Yes I recall. That is the first post from Google search that lead me to the old forum, and introduced me to Himalayan Tools.

Just a small update, measured the mounting bracket, it's not a match with himalayan. Slightly bigger gap between the two mounting holes and also bigger sized bolts.
Will be building an adaptor post Ramadan with my Mechanic.

Yeah, that sucks! I wonder if they do this on purpose or if they just don't care. I see this with so many different parts that almost fit but not quite. They should learn from BMW which had a policy (in the past) where you could exchange 90% or parts between models.
