Default XR1200 Rear Caliper on 48?

Ive seen a lot of xr1200 front calipers swapped on 48s, does anyone know if the matching xr1200 rear caliper (part#42948-08) will also fit 2010 48 with the 11.5 rotor? Id like to have the calipers look matching.

Sorry to revive an old thread but I’m looking to do this on my 2011 48. Anyone know if this works? I have a 10.5 rear rotor.

I've inquired about this from a couple of folks that have XR's (or the rear swingarm) and I
do not believe it will work. Look at the XR swingarm, its huge (aluminum) compared to
the XL so the caliper mount is different.

FWIW, I like the XR caliper just cause it has the HD bar/shield on it just like the fronts....

If you find out anything different, please post.
Thanks!
