Source for brake pins

#1

Post by groupus »

I'm looking for a source for the rear brake pins on a gl1000 and I cannot find them anywhere - not even as part of a rebuild kit. There has got to be a source somewhere. One of mine wiggled out and escaped.
Any suggestions? Other than used sources, I might need to have one fabricated.

You can always buy a used caliper at a bike parts yard and strip it for parts.

Are you still looking? I have a pair from a 78, and it won't cost much... just the gas to meet somewhere and shoot the breeze again.
