Brake Help.

[Guest]

Can anyone tell me what caliper this is? It is on my 78 GS 750 but it is a bit of a frankenbike that I purchased and has a bunch of parts not original to the bike. The pads from my stock 77 GS 750 are slightly different and don't fit. Pads for the 78 are on the left, stock on the right. The Caliper is also mount on the bottom of the rotor/swing arm not the top like the stock ones. Sorry lighting isn't great the back of the caliper says Tokico which I believe most of them say.

I would advertise for a set of calipers and then rebuild them. Don't play around with brakes. Get new brake lines too, stopping is important.

stopping is important.

And not locking up is more important.

Looks like a match to my '98 Bandit 1200S rear caliper which is a bottom mount. They must have picked an earlier Bandit 600 or 1200 for parts including the stopper arm. I see this post is a few weeks old and don't know if you're still looking for an answer. Order the set of pads($30) and rebuild kit from the '98 Bandit 1200 if you stick with that caliper. Or better yet, go to Babbits Online for parts diagram to the Bandit and check too, but they seem to have higher prices so BikeBandit or Z1Enterprises may be better.
