Identifying brake calipers

    So... recently I purchased a K100 for the leading link front end.

    Plan is to put it on my K100 outfit.

    So... pulled it apart a bit to see what it's like. All seems ok,
    except...

    The front wheel looks like a ZXR of some description.

    The calipers however, I can't identify. They wouldn't fit onto a
    ZXR750H1. And I'd like to overhaul them.

    So pictures here:

    They are four-piston pots. The pistons are all 27mm diameter.

    There are no real identifying marks on the calipers; don't know who made
    them, apart from "DOP" on the pad inspection cover the only other
    markings are "E1" on the caliper and L and R on the appropriate caliper.

    The brake pads are labeled "Genuine GS-32" but no manufacturer.

    Any ideas? I'd really like to get a seal kit. Would 'generic' 27mm
    seals work... Where would I get these?

    They look like early Gixer 750 ones to me. I know they had DOP on the
    top cover, but not sure if they also put that on other calipers of that
    era. I know that some Suzuki rear calipers had the DOP on the cover
    though.

    Excellent. Looks identical.

    Thank you very much Lozzo.

    I hate to admit it (after the BMW flame bait...) but I had expected that
    you'd answer this one.

    Right then... set of caliper rebuild rubbers and we're off.

    That's ok, I have a good memory for this kind of old shite.
