Wanted: Brake caliper for a Gen 1 Fazer 1000

[Fuzzygoth]

Just as I source and ignition barrel they garage phone to tell me rear
brake caliper is in no uncertain terms ... Stuffed. So I am trying to
source a replacement Blue Spot rear brake caliper for my 04 Fazer thou.
 
So far ebay and biker breakers have been no use and I am not keen to
buy a brand new factory caliper. I know it comes from the R1 parts bin
but I don't know if this caliper can be salavaged from say and old R1 or
other bike using the R1 breading system.
 
Cheers,
David P

Just blagged one off ebay.de. Keep an eye out on there. Try this search link:-



(fzs 1000, fazer 1000, fz1, xjr 1300) (Bremse, Bremssattel) (hinten, halter) -pads -disc -piston


Apparently the R1 calipers have incompatible mounting holes. However the XJR 1300 (2002+) does have identical calipers.
