Yes, the voice of reason. It is one thing to change the pad material for more or better grip, and the steel braided brake lines are the way to go, but changing parts that demand proper fit (bolt holes, spacing, etc.) require a much deeper understanding and potential risk if they fail.
If you want to put a 'Honda (or from any other bike)' caliper on a Yamaha it must fit properly to function properly. So either it can be directly bolted on or it needs to be 'fitted' via fabrication. If this is a new concept to you the learning curve can be quite steep, but in the process skills will be required (either learned or hired). For some this is a 'calling', to make a bike better than it ever was, and for some it is just decorating their bike for 'stylin' and profiling. For some of us it is a bit of both, and since time is more plentiful than money I generally choose to do it myself, but I have been doing stuff like this for many years. I took shop classes in high school (1958 - 1962) to learn welding, and later spent several years around a machine shop learning to use a lathe, 'new' welding/brazing techniques, and hydraulic press while building a 125cc road racer from the ground up, and then a 250cc racer based on a Seeley frame. In the process we had our hands in making fairings, seats, fuel tanks, frames, brakes, and exhaust systems as well as the insides of the motors. Though it has been more than 40 years ago that I was active in this process I still retain some skills and ideas. Looking back I see the journey as the destination. And the sun still comes up in the morning.
