Title: Brake Calipers for a Girly
Post by: ChazzyB on February 27, 2010, 07:47:23 PM

I need a replacement front left caliper for my Girly. Has anyone got any ideas about what else may use the same caliper? I've come across a rear caliper for an Adventurer on flea-bay that looks remarkably similar in its configuration.

TIA

I'm pretty sure the calipers on my old 900 Trident were the same ones. Try googling part numbers, you might get lucky....

Early or late Chaz? 885i is the same caliper as the Honda VN750 shadow. 955 changed to something else.

I've bought a set of gen-u-wine Nissin seals and installed them - problem solved! The lesson I have learned from all this is: if your caliper leaks, it's 100-1 going to be a seal problem, even if they look fine.

I think I have found another caliper anyway; mine still has the chip missing from the dust seal outer rim. I'll know for sure later on today.
