And are you missing a calliper? Because there never really stuffed. Can be fixed easily, kits are available fairly cheep too. Don't worry too much about the condition of the piston it's the O ring that does the work. Seen some really bad ones but none that couldn't be resurrected! Y

I also saw this weekend at the bike show in Windsor that the calipers from an RD350 fit.

Last person hunting an RH front caliper was Little Scotty about four years ago. I don't believe that he found one? Lill scotty?

I have done an Australia wide wrecker search and have not been able to locate one.

If they were available the wreckers are selling them for moocho dollaries.

With this in mind the ones from the states turn out to be quite reasonably priced.

I'll keep searching.

Thanks Eddy, I was kind of hoping that someone local may have them, save $$$ in postage.  If not these are the go, thanks again big gun.

Hi guys.  I am chasing a left hand side front caliper for a RH, and I wouldn't mind a rotor to go with it as well.  And no...I am not interested in a blue spot conversion.

Cheers, Andy
