    What are wrong with yours? Piston stuck? There are ways to remove it, and new pistons are available. Everything else can be refurbished to like-new condition.

    Was hoping to get some that were freshly rebuilt, I know that would be tough to find.

    The ones I currently have are pitted in the bores, and the damage. I'm getting resistance when I move the front wheel on the left side, but the caliper isn't completely frozen, it is not backing off of the rotor enough.

    So you've had them apart already? Pitted bores are unusual; usually the pistons have pitting and the bores are fine. Don't ride the bike with a dragging brake, it will lock up on you an the most inopportune time.

    Ya I've had them apart already. Was unsure if the pitted bores would be a issue, and they obviously are now. Either trying to find some healthy calipers to swap on that have already been rebuilt. That or find some that haven't been damaged to heavily and rebuild them is proving to be difficult. Maybe I am just looking in the wrong places, or I am judging the conditions of the calipers incorrectly.

    I was at the local you pull it yard yesterday and they happen to have some there if needed. Would be happy to grab them and mail them if needed.

    Maybe prices have gone up in the past four years, so the first set might be a good deal. Used to be that good rebuildable calipers were selling for $20 to $25 each. Remember that the hoses are junk, so you might be alble to talk the seller down a little.

    I have all new hoses, and I swapped my MC for a handlebar mounted one off of a Honda. I just need working calipers :(

    I've got a pair. I'm just north of San Francisco Ca. $50.00 for the pair plus shipping sound fair?

    I actually just got a trade offer on the bike for a small pickup, which I have needed for awhile. If it falls through I will definitely hit you up!
