Wanted: Z1B Caliper

#1 PostAuthor: martinz1b » Mon Jun 22, 2009 5:03 pm

I am after a Z1B caliper in working condition if possible, it is the left hand side one as you sit on the bike that I need. If anyone has one for sale could you PM me with a price please.

Thanks
Mart

Still looking for a caliper, thought I would give it one more try before biting the bullet and buying new (replica) unit :cry:

Thanks

Hi Hillbilly, The picture is of a right hand side one but it is all I can get and the other picture is the mountings for the Z1 on the left Z900 on the right.

Look at the difference in width of the caliper mountings at the top of the caliper.

They seem to be as rare as hen's teeth, I am sure someone is stockpiling them for their retirement fund :(

The only one of them I have seen is here, but it's a replica.

I managed to get a six hole disc last week for £16, it was in excellent condition. I was very pleased with that buy. :D

I have been looking at a way of getting some brackets made so that the later caliper will fit, no luck as yet. :(
