    okay, I got the lower fork tubes all is in order, will rebuild soon, I have a caliper for the left leg, the holes line up is that all I need to check, it came off of a xj650 I do not remember if it was a turbo or not, it does bolt up though, is that all I need?
    Does anyone have extra caliper bolts and the banjo bolt they want to part with? I am willing to pay fair price...

    chacal stocks all that and it's not expensive. New banjo bolts are a good idea anyway.

    Cavi.....you might want to re-consider using the 650 caliper on your bike.......the 550 Seca models use the 750 Seca calipers, which are very different from the 650 Turbo or 650 Seca style calipers. You really don't want to be using two different style calipers on your bike! It might be possible to bolt up the 650 calipers to the 550 Seca fork tubes, and as long as you have adequate clearance and "depth" of placement onto the rotor, then it should be okay......which rotors are you planning on using? The 650 Turbo rotors are pancake flat, and 10-1/2" diameter, while the 550 Seca rotors are 11-3/4" diameter, and they have a significant offset to move the rotor "away" fomt he wheel hub and into the proper alignment with the caliper.

    Better measure twice, and cut once!!
