Need a front caliper for a 98 660

Postby ailiaw » Mon Aug 22, 2011 7:25 pm

So I was doing a brake job today and i tightened the bleeder nipple on the front caliper a little too much and the caliper hole broke in half. So now I have an unrepairable caliper and am in need of one.


Best part is I just got the bike YESTERDAY.

I need a caliper. First bike i've had in 9 months and I've broken it! :evil:

Skorpion?
Check around breakers and see if you can find a Brembo with 40mm bolt spacing.
Much better feel than the Grimeca.
Similar to this:
Brembo 4 piston caliper
I got lucky and got a NOS for under $100 USD.
Good luck,

I agree with Bill R, it's a direct swap and a big improvement. But, if Your an "I want to keep the bike totally stock" kind of guy I have one available.
