   i recently changed my rear axle on my vts for a vtr rear axle without abs, would it be worth getting vts abs calipers or just leave the vtr non abs calipers on?

   Are calipers are the same aren't they?
   
   It's the hubs that are different? Not sure if the VTR hubs have the ABS sensor mounts or the cog thing before the hub though?

   Calipers on rear of vtr and vts are the same, it's the actual beam that houses the abs sensors so if you want abs you need a vts beam.

   no because the calipers are EXACTLY the same.
   The abs cog is part of the rear arm. You could transfer it across, but alot more hassle than its worth. Never had to take the rear stub pin out so cant say if its a case of taking the pin out and fitting the cog or not.
   
   ABS on saxos is shit anyway and always breaks.
