You're right. I never worked at a Japanese motorcycle dealership for 6 years and I never want anyone to spend $60 when they could spend almost $300.

I also just remembered why I almost never contribute to the site any more. I'll shut up now. :angry:

Id say that looks like the same caliper to me, other than the color anyway.

And you need to click the "Thank You" button at the bottom of StreetfighterKz's post.

He even looked up the parts "and" posted pictures! Gotta admit, that's really helpful.
