It's pointless anyone giving you lots of details if you don't understand, for instance.
Well, you did ask :D

How’s your diving coming on Alan :roll:

2nd best intro ever - after mine!!

Gozo trip off this year, so no scuba diving this year (you did mean that kind of diving, Martin? :shock: )
We might try West Jockland next month, but I'll be driving the boat again.
Possible Gozo next year, we'll see how the chinkyitis goes on......

I was quite shocked really as I was expecting your first post to say something like:-

My name is Alan and live in Yorkshire. I say what I like and I like what I say. Oh, and I love lard :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hi Kev the caliper faces are symmetrical so therefore should be able to fit the same caliper both sides not got twin discs on my 550 but surely just spin the body and re insert the middle plate on the allen keyed slider bolts that should then bolt on to the left side fork leg ;) pads are not handed so the anti vibration plate and rubbers will be ok

Cheers Dave

Hi Dave

They aren't the same. The machined faces of the mounting holes are opposite to help identify which is which. The castings around the pin sleeves are also mirrored, if that makes sense? I actually don't know if you can make a right hand carrier fit a left hand caliper but i just wouldn't risk it where brakes are concerned. Happy to hear if any one else has managed to achieve it safely. Kev

Yeh see what you mean Kev now slider bolt bosses being slightly longer one end therefore handed :) Crafty Mr Suzuki me thinks :roll:
