Who needs brakes?

Turns out I do!

Went to change the rear pads today, only to find both pistons seized in the rear caliper, and a lovely stress fracture running through the entire thing so I've had to bin it grrrr.

Issue now is I can't find another one to replace it with, and I'm not buying from the states as I'm UK based and would pay through the odds thanks to our lovely Government.

Anyone have any idea what caliper would fit a 98 XJ600S?

Cheers

Moved to the correct section.

There should be quite a few around in the UK as this was/is a popular bike. There are some good bargains to be had in buying from the states.

I've seen plenty for sale, but not that many being broken and it seems like the rear calipers are like gold .... They get snapped up extremely quickly.

If I were to order from the states it's the charge customs would place on top of the item that is concerning my slightly, as i've never ordered from abroad either.

I have never had any problem buy from the states. Just calculate the costs in case you need to pay customs etc.

Best to look at German and French fleabay forst. Use google translator if you need to.

These any good?
