just thought i would see what people have laying around. i need some new calipers for the front of my buggy as the current ones are seized and not worth repairing i have taken to my local brake man and as he said they are very old unit and the cost of getting them apart and fixing it would be cheaper to upgrade.
i will get the rota dia tommorrow when i'm in the shed. no sure what the old make of caliper where but rotas are about 8mm thick and they are just single piston.
looking at rivmaster if cant get them second hand from someone.

my rivy has commerdore rear caliper's on the front stub's there mounted on trik drop stubs with trik hubs and disks , think there 10" dia and 8mm think , and they fit the disc with out haveing any pad hanging out ,
there work well with commerdore front calper's on the rear and are easy to get pads for also

Hi William Do you know what calipers you have already? If not, take one of the pads down to Sam Laws Motorcycles they have reference templates books, and were able to identity mine as Suzuki.
