    I think I've got a set of those calipers here, if yours can't be serviced.

    I've PM'd you thanks Drew.

    Will attempt to get photos up this evening if I can remember. Essentially a lot of the seals have 'jumped out' and most of the pistons refuse to budge.

    ...Thinking I may need an air compressor

    What you are seeing is the dust seals, not the working pressure seals.

    Make drew an offer if his have moving parts, but old calipers are best kept in a system so air doesn't get in, but I'd expect Drew to have done so, unless they were cast aside. I'd still strip good ones that have been lying around as the white grunge grows by itself.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Seems a dying breed, I'm just thankful I have two brothers in Japan who I can send PDF pages to for translations. Managed to track down the oil filter that way. Ha!

    Small internal. There are only four options for Suzuki filters I'm told.

    I have a dumb feeling that the gsx400 and gsx250( invader ) shared the same parts bin for calipers..
    in that case nothing out there will fit straight in. and trying to find a caliper in good nick is hard.
