Can't find rebuild kit for pre 1980 Fr. calipers?

[Tola]

Looking to rebuild 2 1978 front brake calipers. All I can locate online are 1980-kits which are a bit different. Anyone have any leads?

No kits that i can find either but most of the parts you need are avalible OEM.Better than kit quaity parts to.

EDIT: SV posted above while I was typing. Boulevard Suzuki is a good choice.

You failed to mention the model bike you are trying to repair but in general, the various seals are available from Suzuki although you have to order them separate. Order from your favorite Suzuki parts source (tons of choices available). I strongly advise against aftermarket brake system parts other than pads.

1978 GS 750, GS1000 is different but thanks. I'll check with my local (50 miles away) dealer or go online. Thanks.

Go to the fiche of your choice and look up the 750.Can get the PN off it to take to the local dealer.Ones in Canada rape us on parts so going the US route is cheaper.

[Tola]

Feel like I'm getting raped in US as well the little dust cover are $8- each but the larger piston seal is only $6-, what's up with that? Never thought of going through suzuki directly, figured a kit would be out there, oh well.

[SVSooke]

That dust cover is way more complicated than the seal.If I could not get US pricing on parts the 78 1000 would not be as far along so..............
