Source for "FRONT" brake caliper pistons???

[1978GS750E]

I've checked everywhere that I can think of and cannot find a source for the front brake caliper pistons for my 1978 GS750EC. Anyone have any ideas where I can get a couple?

Wemoto stainless steel - last forever, almost. A bit pricey but worth it.

Same caliper. Some years will show them as NLA and the same bike a year earlier with the exact same calipers will show them as available....gotta check around the parts fiches a little bit.

Thanks Chuck! Never thought to look for earlier or later years with the same caliper. No wonder all your restorations look and operate so well! Thanks for the tip!

And note that year to year Suzuki may have use then exact same p[art ( in this instance the pistons ) but they changed the part number by 1 or 2 digits. Knowing this lets you decipher what fits what.

Be careful. There are at least 2 different types of calipers. You can read about my search for the correct rebuild kit here: http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...r-rebuild-kits

The 77 and 78 750s all used the same calipers...i had both of them.

I bought a caliper from a member on this forum. I was told it was from a 78 single disc 750. I believed it would be identical to my 77 caliper but it wasn't.

There are 3 possible explanations. 1) The 77 and 78 are different. 2) Someone used a dual disc caliper on a single disc bike. 3) The seller lied to me.

I have no reason to doubt you Chuck just as I had no reason not to trust the member who sold me the caliper. Just advising the OP to do some research to make sure he gets the correct part.
