I think you need the bracket itself as it has shoulders on for the dust seals. But my experience is limited to z1000's.
Where I have swapped right to left calipers but used the original bracket.
Have a look at the parts fiche online you can the check part nos.

Careful I think the calipers are symmetrical but the carriers are handed with machined cut outs but I may be talking bollox .....its not unheard of :hys

On A4 the calipers can be used either side its the carrier that is handed as Keith said..
