Looks like a pair Ive got in the loft, that ive done up ready for a project that never came off. The bodys are fine glass blasted, stainless bolts fitted, all pistons and seals ok and bores ok. Price up yours to rebuild but if pistons/bores are pitted I have the pair for sale.PM me your Email and i will send photo/price if you get stuck . Mine may be a chearer option, and ready to go. By the way I think they are suzuki GSXR 750/1100

GSXR 750/1100 FOUR POTS are Nissin ones, Not tokico.
I have a vague recollection that they are the same though if you want to confirm the piston diameters I'll happily check a set of NISSINS I have for you.
But I think as above RGV250 IS A Likely bet

i found a few that look similar on eBay but enquiring some are 60mm between centres on the mounts. These are 90mm. The 400cc and below appear to be all 60mm mounts.

Have a look at.

tl 1000s tl1000r hayabusa are all 90mm spacing. But I think tl1000 are six pots but not sure about all models. srad 600 calipers are four pots.
But I think that your calipers could actually be GSXR750Y year 2000 calipers as they have a front piston larger than the rear.

Those anodised alloy banjos & bits are an MOT fail - a bit dodgy as they can fracture 
Posted: Thu Mar 22, 2012 5:25 pm
These are also 90mm
Posted: Thu Mar 22, 2012 6:07 pm
RGV as above, Nissin 4 pots will fit and are better alloy. Alloy banjos also corrode from inside with stainless braid.
