    Gotta say, this thread is going to be an awesome resource for when I rebuild all three of my brake calipers on my GS750. I do have to say: everyone keeps mentioning getting OEM parts for the brakes and I've poured through the forum with different searches looking for a good resource for OEM parts and have yet to find any. Is there a place where most folks here go to source the OEM brake parts? I'm especially having trouble finding stuff for my '78 GS750E. Any lead is appreciated, as I'm super wary of all the eBay kits.

    Anyway, the calipers look great! I hope I can get mine as clean and as decent looking after some paint!

        my opinion shouldn't be taken as gospel or in any way that would lead you to believe otherwise (30Sep2021)

            Listen to this man, he knoweth of what he speaks.
            Apart from that, the silly little round hockey-puck pads of the earlier bikes are verging on bloddy useless.

              I'd definitely be interested in doing this, but it's a little pricey for now. I think I'll start with a rebuild to get the brakes workable and the bike more rideable, and then look to upgrade. I also don't have a ton of confidence in having to drill out mounting holes for a rotor. I don't have a drill press or anything to put together a good/precise jig right now, so a rebuild is the best way to get me safely on the road right now. Anyway, didn't mean to jack the thread!
