[janner]

Right guys, just found that my frnt calipers are binding , so gonna do a full piston and seal re-build on them , mine are silver in colour , but most ive seen are either black satin or gold, can anyone advise the right colour as i,ll re-paint em while stripped down , cheers jon

Why not just paint them how you want

Suzuki got weird at times and had local variations in trim and paint.
Do they look like they were painted at the factory in silver?

Mine are black but paint em how yah like.

If the silver looks flawless then it may well be an OEM variation.

Not sure it is available to you, but follow the link below for pictures and what I used.

About half way down the page, I have a picture of an NOS rear caliper with original paint and the front MC I painted. I am very happy with the match.

I've never seen silver ones in the UK. As far as I am aware the calipers should be satin black and the anti dive should be gold.

Hiya hammy, you was a gret help on the gs650 and were back !! how you doing mate, yeh i,m thinking going the satin black look with the gold anti-dive too, after searching around it seems the single opposed piston calipers were satin black and the twin opposed were gold, cheers jon

Right guys, now i,m decided on the caliper colour(satin black) and the anti dive chambers gold, i,m ready to order pads etc and need to know how i can tell the difference between my setup, when looking on wemoto's site there is a choice between HH or GG setup, can anyone tell me how to tel what i have before ordering, cheers guys. jon

GGs unless you are going racing.

ok , thats great, also , if i take the anti dive resevoirs off , will it dump all the fork oil out ? sorry for all the questions, ive ordered the master cylinder rebuild kit and the new front and rear pads now (sintered) , i,m hoping the pistons and seals are ok, but if not they,ll have the treatment too, cheers
