caliper seal rings

I need them if you have them I'll buy them. Need two 38mm ones for the front and a 42mm one for the rear. If you have some you don't need or want I'll buy them. Somebody has these out there. Let me know.

Per Z1E listings:

Z1E kit for rear caliper includes the larger seal.

The smaller seal is available separately.

The smaller dust covers may be virtually disintegrated, and are important to keeping the "floating" articulation functioning smoothly.

Good Fortune!

I've got the seals Patton, I need the metal ring that fits in the recess on the caliper to hold the dust boot on.

Check Kawasaki.com to verify part numbers, but I believe these are the parts you're looking for:

FRONT 43049-001

REAR 43049-002

Am unfamiliar with such metal ring, and don't see it on kawasaki.com or in the FSM A4 caliper diagrams, but don't have FSM supp for LTD.

Here are the B2 caliper diagrams as shown on kawasaki.com:

According to Ma Kaw, on the front caliper picture the item labeled "15" is part number 43049-001; on the rear caliper picture the item labeled "12" is part number 43049-002. See my previous post for NOS eBay items. Ed

You must be talking about the steel retaining ring, that got burned up in that chrome process you were describing earlier??

That is gonna be hard to find, You need to get a bad caliper body with an unusable bore. Then carefully pop that ring out.

I might have to do that also, get specs and make stainless replacements.

Yes, these are the same part numbers noted at www.z1enterprises.com/detail.aspx?ID=263 , and which I also first thought (incorrectly) were the parts desired.

Am no stranger to caliper overhauls, but never noticed or paid much attention to the subject metal ring.

This section from the FSM does mention a dust seal stopper.

Very interesting. If they were attached to the calipers when sent to the chrome plater and he removed them I wonder what he did with them. It might be worth asking him if he still has them. Ed

I have one of 43049-002 off from KZ900A4 front caliper. Should fit on your rear caliper.
Drop me your address in PM if you want it, I will put it in the mail.
