Looking for a front Caliper and brake lines in good operating condition for a 82 XJ550.

Anything ORIGINAL you find will need to be rebuilt, regardless of "condition." http://xjbikes.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=41403.html

Original brake lines need to be replaced with NEW, read: http://xjbikes.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=41400.html

Read this one too: http://xjbikes.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=15874.html

 

I know they have to be rebuilt, I just prefer to start with the best condition I can get. Working with no parts right now.

 

Is this the 550 Maxim or Seca. It does make a difference. If it's the Seca I have a caliper you can have for the cost of shipping. Worked when I pulled it, but you'd definitely want to go over it. Comes with a nearly new set of pads.

 

It's a maxim....I think. Came as a pile of parts and looks nothing like either anymore. :lol:

Left side (drivers) single rotor.

 

yeah, the Seca 550 is single rotor on the right side. Sorry I couldn't help

 

PM sent.

 

dont bother with lines that belong in a landfill....

 

If the (rubber) lines aren't within 4 years of mfg, they must be replaced. Rubber costs about 2/3 of the price of stainless steel lines from Chacal AND Chacal's are the ONLY lines anywhere you will find where the entire unit is DOT certified/tested. Everyone else uses certified parts to build a line which may or may not function acceptably as a whole, but Chacal's entire assembly is DOT certified.

 

Thanks for the heads up!

 

Did you get a caliper yet?

 

Not yet. Have a bid on one on Ebay.
