GSX750 ET rear brake

[Guest]

Trying to get a 1980 GSX750 ET back on the road, but the rear brake caliper is a rusty mess so I am looking to get a replacement. I think this caliper has been used on multiple models and looking on eBay there are plenty which appear similar, but does anyone have a list of which models the bike shares this part with?

The parts bike in my yard has the right one. It's a 1980 GS 750 ET, US version. The rear brake works, I haven't looked inside.

Are you interested?

The caliper itself is made out of aluminum and can almost always be cleaned up to be used again. The only reason to discard one is due to physical trauma. The pistons and seals are a different story, but you typically need new ones of those even when buying a used caliper.

Pics of yours?

The caliper from the following bikes will fit ( there may be a one or two I miss).

GS550
GS750
GS850
GS1000
GS1100
GSX750 up to 1982
GSX1100 up to 1982

British spec models.

But before you dump yours tell us what's wrong with it as they are completely serviceable. What you buy might be in even worse state.
