New calipers for Japanese classics

Need to stop your classic Honda or Yamaha, but finding things start to fade? TRK Braking has launched two new replica brake calipers that are authentic reproductions of the original parts fitted in the 1970s but made with modern materials. The TRK calipers will give a classic Hondas and Yamahas an original look and are made to fit some of the most popular and desirable motorcycles of the 1970s – and some unpopular ones too. The Honda calipers will fit most SOHC Hondas sold between 1971 and 1979 which used floating calipers and will cost £98.48. The Yamaha calipers will fit 250cc plus RD, TX and XS models sold between 1973 and 1977 and cost £113.99. The calipers are available from TRK stockists and classic parts specialists Wemoto.
