brake caliper identification

[ste gs1000]

Hi, I own a 1980 gs1000e, the front brake calipers are leaking, I either need a seal kit or replacement calipers ! I have attached a photo of my calipers which I cannot identify, I am hoping one of you forum guys can help identify these and also advise me of any other caliper which may fit my gs1000e, many thanks in advancesteve

More pics, please.

That looks a little bit like the round puck calipers from 1979 and earlier (look at the fiche to see what I mean), but the mounting in that photo doesn't look right.

hmmmm....i can't see how they even attach to the fork legs.

It defiantly looks similar to a GS caliper,here's a pic mine:

But not the same,Lochart?
Edit:Looking at the OP it seems to me the 80 1000E came with this style caliper:

Possibly Kawasaki Z1R 1978-79 or something similar from the Kawasaki stable of that period

Definitely Kawasaki.

1973 Z1 900



Best guess is that you appear to have circa 1972-73 Kawasaki Z1 900 caliper bodies mounted on circa 1978-79 Z650 brackets.

1978-79 Z650 caliper. Note the finish on the mounting bracket. Similar to yours.

Nice detective work, Pat.

Thanks everyone for your detective work, I've now ordered a pair of gs1100g 1982 calipers , which apparently are better than what I had fitted,
Cheers
