Anyone have a idea where to find a rebuild kit and a new piston for a front brake on a 81 ? Searched and searched and they are bigger than the earlier models. Caliper almost looks the same as whats on my 79 1100......even has the weird angled brake pads........

Thanks!
 
Yambits has the caliper piston and kit:

I can confirm the yambits parts do fit, though the shipping was on the higher side.

This piston and kit are also supposed to fit:

Thanks! Going to pull apart this weekend and confirm size first before ordering.......I already have a spare for the 78 and don't need another.......
