Now my calipers are screwed

[tedmagnum]

My newly aquired AT is causing me even more financial woes now...

Today my new caliper seals arrived and I stripped down the calipers to fit them. At 40,000 miles its something you really have to do.

Upon dissasembly my heart started to sink.. I've seen this problem quite a lot with old bikes so I know that im now looking for new calipers.. The grooves which the dust seals sit into have corroded away which leaves the seal exposed which will make it eventually creep out of the hole..

Its a pain in the arse because its not even something you can check when you buy a bike unless you start stripping them..



The other caliper was even worse but luckily I had 1 spare caliper off an old xr650r which fitted straight on...

So, has anyone got a spare right hand side caliper ???????

The left hand side ones are easy to find as most Honda dirt bikes use the same one but the right hand side caliper obviously isnt used on dirt bikes
