Ok, I dropped my chores to dig this up for everyone... first off, be clear, mine is a single brake caliper/rotor with only one brake line... I keep seeing references to multiple lines and that's a different bike. My other bikes (Honda's/BMW) have 2 of everything... or so it seems. Here's my...

Thanks, I thought about that and in fact several shops will supply the parts but won't assemble them. However there is a shop in Pennsylvania that supplies only oem replacement parts for Yamaha so, for $85 it arrives any day. I'll post their info next time around.... don't have it handy.
