1988 GSX1100F Caliper Identification ?

bccap · 04-04-2012, 06:37 PM

Hi guys
I'm trying to figure out what one of the PO's of my bike has done. I went to replace my pads and discovered that my pads don't match the parts fiche. Mine are single pin in the center, instead of 2 pins. To make matters worse when I pulled the old pads, about a 1/4 inch of the pad is not touching the disk. So if you are inspecting the pad without removing it. The pad appears new. So here are a couple of pics of calipers that are supposed to be for the bike. The ones with Nissin written appear to be what I have. The other is also supposed to be for the bike. Could someone tell me which one the bike is supposed to have?
Thanks

The gold one looks like stock.

Thanks Bill. As it turns out they are cheaper as well. I will put my order in.

If you're looking for calipers hold off for a minute. I've got a full set sitting in the garage. Bet I can give you a better price than you can find on flea-bay.
