Oh it's one of those, yeah they where an odd duck. If you do have to replace it I think the later shovel aluminium MC has the same offset bolt pattern, forget the name sorry.

I'm thinking if I have to replace I'll use these. Just not sure. I want a lot of black but, don't want to go over board. Checked on the photoshop forum to see about getting a shot of it with the black but, there has been no action there since 2016.





They would go on this.

Damn!!!! That's a nice looking bike!

Sorry no help on the brake parts... But I don't think the black set up would be overboard at all. In fact, a black powder rear caliper to match would look really good too.

Thanks, actually going the other way. I'm replacing the front caliper, it is just plastic coated right now. I will have the chrome caliper with black brackets like the rear. Will also change the rear rotor to match the front. Little things still need to be done.

Nice looking scooter there man. I like that. Have you tried googling different words to drill down possible pieces?

Well, got tired of looking and, today rear brake started sticking a bit. Not bad but noticeable. Not gonna take the chance with brakes, ordered a complete new set up today. The one in post #12. Also found out that 5/8 is the normal size bore for single piston/single brake. The 3/4 is for multiple pistons and or dual brakes.
