Front caliper seals

Post by nickst4 »

Just a quickey, in case someone clever can clarify things prior to me taking stuff apart.

My '76 550 has twin front calipers, giving very decent braking. Since this mod was done long before I got the bike, I don't know which model the calipers came from. They look identical, so is it reasonable to assume that the non-OEM side must be from a GT750, or possibly both are from that source?

The reason I 'm asking is that I need to put new seals in both, and need to know which model/year to order parts for. Are they all the same? One check on an ebay item stated that '76 GT750 seals wouldn't a 550 of that year. Is this true?

Thanks for any help with this!

May help if you post a photo of your calipers so we can identify them. :D
