    What to do with my GS750 calipers

    The calipers of my GS750DB (with double disks front) were stuck. I pressed them out with airpressure.
    Now the pistons are rusted trough the chrome layer so they have to be changed.

    Now my questions is what's the best to do, rebuild the old GS750 calipers with new stainless steel pistons etc from wemoto. Or is there an alternative caliper from an other suzuki bike that gives me better performance that is the money is well spend on?

    Personally, I would install new pistons and o-rings and call it good, but I do not demand the performance that some others do.

    There are brake upgrades available, so a search for "the Salty Monk brake upgrade", he has installed a dual-piston setup and has adapter kits available.

      I have more brackets but not many at the moment... I also have a couple of full sets similar to the set sold in the link below that I could make up.

      Travelling for the next couple of weeks though... Will fit your 750 if the pics on Google are correct. It only fits twin brake models with the axle directly underneath the fork legs.
