Hey Y'all. Last spring I had my brake calipers (all three of them) professionally painted to match the paint job on my '77Kz 650 Custom. It looked pretty cool against my bead blasted rims. I am looking to find out what the caliper body is made of as I may consider changing to a bead blasted rough cast or polished look. Are they made of aluminum? I picked up another tank, sidecovers and tail piece as an extra set to swap occaisionally. The painted calipers kinda limits my alternative paint choices.
