Do you have a link to the factory size rotors? Im trying to find a CTSV repair manual too!

Yeah have seen it up for grabs online, go to the ctsvowners.com, nice bunch of wealthy yanks glad to help.

Ok - re orientating the rear 4 piston calipers bleed valves and fluid transfer pipes... is that as simple as unscrewing them on both ends and moving the bleed to the opppsite end of Caliper and vice-versa? Will that operate the Caliper as normal for trailing position on Commodore?
Is it that necessary for brake wear? I’m leaning towards yes.

The piston bores are different sizes for leading and trailing per sportsbikes, so you need to swap sides and yes all you need to do is swap bleed to top position.

Yes, it definitely needs to be done.
A brake and steering specialist I've been using for 30 years did mine. I thought he swapped the rear secion from left to right. To reverse the pistons (there is a leading and trailing piston) and reposition the bleed nipple. But I could be wrong.

If the rear calipers are exactly the same but orientated for left and right in CTSV then is switching the left to right not setting them up for correct orientation in SS?

I think what Monstar said is correct. Having just read it.

Are the rear calipers the same in both sides? Do they operate exactly the same? Are they left and right for the CTSV for the piston size setup. If they are could they not just go rear left to rear right opposite sides to fix piston location... any advise re this from the forum would be good.

Yes this is exactly what must happen. Swap left rear CTS-V to right rear VF. You must also swap the bleed screws and fluid transfer pipes so the bleed screws are located at the top when installed on the VF. This is all because on the CTS-V the rear caliper is on the forward side of the rear axle but on the VF it is on the back side of the rear axle. Failure to swap the fluid transfer pipes and bleed screws will make is near impossible to bleed the rear calipers. Failure to swap the CTS-V rear calipers side to side on the VF will cause very uneven pad wear.

I would have thought so. The tricky part here is making sure that the calipers are mirror image left to right and the mounting plate is the same. The fronts are obviously different and easily picked as being different. The rears look the same so in essence you should be able to mount the left hand on the right and vise versa to get the plumbing right.
