NC30 Rear caliper swap

[hrc rr]

My one doesn't look like it's worth the cost to repair, so I'd rather swap it for a working rear caliper. I've checked the RVF400 rear caliper out, but the mount and design doesn't look like they are interchangeable (unless they are and I've missed something?)

Is there a rear caliper from another Honda bike that will swap with the VFR400 NC30 rear caliper?

And if someone has a working rear caliper for sale and willing to ship to AUS, shoot us a PM.

Thanks

What exactly is wrong with your current caliper?

99.9% certain 30 and 35 rear calipers are the same. Theres not much that can go wrong with then to be fair, a new set of pistons and seals will cost around the same as a 2nd hand caliper and chances are that wont have new seals or pistons.

I'm sure it's the same too. Anyway, as DM suggests, buying a 'new' one is uneconomical unless you find a bargain. There's a single example on eBay in the UK now, and it's £50. For that, you could buy genuine seals from DSS (06451-GE2-405 approx £12 for two sets), and aftermarket pistons (45107-MN5-006P, £36 for two). If you trust eBay sources, you could get a kit of two aftermarket pistons and their seals for £37, which would leave a surplus on the complete caliper cost that would give you a budget to replace the various pins and boots for the pads and sliding part of the caliper if required.

I'm sure the 600 Hornet pre-2003 uses the same caliper. It is a sliding piston type isn't it? Or am I thinking 21/24?

I'm sure I still have one in the workshop, I'll check tomorrow afternoon when I'm back home.

Yeah, slidey job, twin pot.
