    Caliper help needed

    After a broken bleeder led to destroyed threads I need a new R front caliper body. I'm new to GS's but I've checked Ebay , Z1, and Bike Bandit with no luck. Can anyone tell me where to find one or should I rework this one to accept an over size bleeder?

      If we know what you ride some of us have calipers we could part with. I have 4 or 5 lying around. Retapping will work but you'll need to pop the piston out so you can flush the cylinder.

          Had it been a newer bike I'd have given you one of my spares. If you can't come up with an entire caliper the oversized bleeder will work. You'll just need to disassemble the caliper to clean out any threads that might end up in it. You might already have some in it anyway.

            Drilling it oversize and retapping wouldnt be a big deal but getting the seat right might be an issue. This really ****es me off because the rest of it is in good shape.
