Does anybody know if there is a replacement part for a 82 gl 1100 rear caliper? The original part is not made anymore and I need a replacement,I have been told that rebuilding it doesn't always work. Any ideas would be a great help . Tnxraying:

What makes you so sure you need a replacement? Have you taken it apart to inspect it? I rebuilt mine and with a good cleaning and a seal replacement, it works fine. Of course sometimes they are out of spec and it may need to be replaced but checking them costs nothing and if it needs a seal and piston, still worth it.

If you have not actually checked it then it is probably rebuildable. I rebuilt both the rear caliper and master cylinder on mine, and they work fine. If it really isn't rebuildable, you can get a used one that is. MANY parts are no longer available for these old bikes, which can make it a challenge to keep them going sometimes. There are a lot of used parts around, some are ok, others are not.

I believe and someone will correct me if I'm wrong:shock: that rear calipers 82 to 87 are interchangeable so it shouldn't be hard to find a good or rebuildable one.

But first ask the shop why they think it's not rebuildable.

Just because Cyclemax lists it with a price doesn't mean they have or can get it.

It's kind of hit or miss with them. I've had a lot of luck in the past but you never can tell.



Ebay is another option. Just have to keep checking from time to time.
