Hello, and thanks for reading this and offering your insight.
I have a 98 FZS600 which has terrible problems with its rear brake caliper. I have rebuilt it before however the same problem keeps occurring with the pistons getting jammed at an angle. This time its so seized that even I am willing to admit defeat :'(
To be fair this bike has been used as a commuter hack for years through winters and all - its a hell of a good bike and this is the only significant problem I have had in 8 years.
I don't want to replace it with a stock caliper from ebay, because they suck and need constant cleaning. Does anyone know of a cost effective aftermarket caliper that will fit so that I can get through an MOT? The bike is only worth ~£900 so I'm not aiming high.
Cheers.
