If you have good braided lines then the fittings are the same like original and the projections should fit.
Here are braided lines from Melvin on my ex-blue spot calipers. The projection is marked with yellow arrow:



Problems might occur if a caliper is from another bike. Then you can use custom made lines with the right fittings for the caliper.
Examples for fittings on page 4:

The projections should prevent the brake lines from spinning around when you tighten the banjo bolts.
If you can apply the specified torque to the bolts and you can keep the lines in place (maybe with cloth wrapped pliers) everything is fine.

now question is....fixed chain or rivet? Swing arm off or in situ?

I rivetted mine today:
http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,6412.4525.html
But if the complete set of chain an sprockets is worn it would make sense to put the swingarm off and check the bearings and regrease them. For rivetting you need a good tool. I would not use the two hammer method....

Mounted a new chain for visual resaons and to try out my new Kellermann chain tool  :)
The old chain has rusty spots and I do not like that.
I changed only the chain since the bike has only 11200 miles the sprockets are in quite good condition.
The Kellermann tool works great. I did that job the first time and the result is perfect. According to DID the flare diameter should be 5,5 to 5,9 mm and mine have 5,7 mm

Is there a problem to drain the fuel and to fill the tank with water through the fuel tap before drilling?
Of course this will take some time but you would be on the safe side.

Do the same on the other side, NOTHING...
Maybe the bleeder hole in the caliper is clogged.

Dude! I've never done this but I'd assume you just remove the whole filler cap unit by removing the seven cap screws located round the outer ring.  ;)

That will not work. This is from my TDM but Fazer is similar:



The part marked with the red arrow will engage under the edge of the opening when the cap is locked.
And you can see the screws Punkstig mentioned.

I think for bikes the blades are to thick. I always use the thin ones of my tool because in most cases the thicker won´t fit.

I got this one:

A little bit more expensive but it works fine and I bought it during a 20% off sales promotion  ;)

I suspect they should as all my front ones did - anyone comment..
If the protrusion is equal on both sides it might be normal for this type of caliper.
You can measure the gap between the pistons and the thickness of pads and brake disk and easily calculate if it will fit.

Have you tried it with the stand retracted?
In this position it is less tension on the springs than in parking position.

If you want to look for calipers yourself:
"Bremssattel hinten R1" or "Bremszange hinten R1" means "rear brake caliper R1"

Is that one you linked to OK from the looks of it and what the post says?
The seller says that it has scratches an that the condition is visible on the pictures.
And he says that if the item has damages it would be listed in the description.
The pad guides look o.k.

Why do you not buy in Germany?
This one looks good an shipping is to Europe:

You can try to smooth it out but:
1) The pads will have more play in the guides which may leed to quick wear and negative effects on "brake feeling"
2) The surface of the R1 calipers is anodized to make them resistant to wear. You will loose that surface treatment. But like in your an my case this wear protection might be only something theoretical.

The pads can stick in the groove. I bought a pair of R1 front calipers and one of them had the same problem and I scraped it. On the auction pictures it was not possible to see it because the pads had been installed....

...so a bargin and its in good condition...




Really? The pad guides are pretty worn. On good calipers the complete surface is flat.

The speedo drive of TDM850 (from 1999 on) and FZS600 are exactly the same.
Left with broken tabs from a 2000 TDM and right from a 2003 FZS600 (bought it for my TDM  :) )
