    Hi guys,greetings from the UK, I could do with some advise please, I am looking for two front calipers to fit my 82 Turbo, these are like finding hens teeth in the uk, my question is which other yam models had these calipers fitted or is there an easy upgrade option.
    I understand that RD350ypvs had the same calipers ? I have the forks sorted out so don't want to change, Any help is greatly appreciated, regards Richard

    it looks like the xz550 is best bet for getting left and right caliper

    do not know why 82 and 83 750 MAXIM fits left side but the right side is not listed as a fit, could be that they will work but yamaha chose not to list


    also xj750 maxim will fit xj550rj seca model so you may be able to use xj550 set as well

    If your goal does not include an as-stock restoration, the Yamaha blue-dots will fit if you make mounting brackets.

    I have some recently taken off my Turbo.
    All original but still working. $50 + postage for the set.
    They are still connected to the master I plan to use, still full of fluid.
    Might even have decent pads in them, I'll need to check, just let me know if you're interested and I'll drain them out.
