The front caliper on my 89 r65 was seized so I spit the two haves and attempted to remove the piston. Well I'm a roofer and the hammer and chisel system is obviously not the best way to go so I need another caliper. Should I just fit a standard replacement Brembo or something else? If standard does anyone have a working one for sale?:aidan
 
When I used my electrician hammer & chisel on the pistons to get them out I priced up the parts. I got a nissin 4 pot caliper for around the same price & got an adapter made. Works well.
 
I have a full set of front brakes from my low mileage R65 that are surplus to requirements.

I have no idea what a caliper is worth?
 
Somewhere between nothing and what you paid for the bike. Happy to help Sid :P
 
I got £50 GBP for a GS caliper on Ebay this week.
BUT ,, Your R65 Caliper is the Same as that Mounted to Moto Guzzi T3,s and some early Lemans , These command
silly Money .
I have seen them sell at up to £150 for the Pair .... :eek:........
So i am Saying it all depends what you market them as .

The Market dictates any Value tho .
