I'm looking for a 78 750K front brake caliper. I've been looking for a while and have come up short. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks

I have one off of a 1976, it should work. Does anyone else on here know for sure.

The 77-78 K uses the same caliper as the 76-78 A (Automatics). You can use an earlier K caliper if, you also use the earlier mounting bracket with it.

That sounds promising. Any way you can send photo and part number to make sure? I already tried buying a caliper off a guy here, but it turned out to be for a 79 and didn't fit.

I took pic's of caliper and of the VIN on the bike. It is still on bike but I will remove if you want it. I will include the bracket and brake line up to the banjo if you need. Take a look and see if want it.

That's the K caliper. It will bolt right on. Just use the bracket that is on it now.

Ian, I don't know if you would notice my other post on this so I thought I would post something here as well. If you buy this calliper, or the one on eBay that I pointed you to, do you want to sell me your existing piston? I've been looking for one for ages and would be happy to buy yours if it's in good condition.

It looks like it will work if you want it I can ship it to you for $100.00 and I will include the bracket, bolts, and the line. I will pay the shipping if that will help you out. You can send payment through my paypal account, then I will ship.

Hi Peter, if the caliper and bracket works I'd gladly sell you my existing caliper piston.

I am not sure how you can send it to my paypal account I always sold on Ebay. My name is Tim Comer. My email is tcomer62@live.com. I already have it removed and will send it when payment is made.
