<![CDATA[(Scotland) Looking for front brake caliper housing to fit 99 DTR]]>Hi all I've been having trouble with my bike recently and turns out I need a new front caliper. After ordering one off eBay it turns out the seller sent a back caliper. I would appreciate any help I could get as I desperately want the bike ready for the road by the 18th as it's my 17th and I will be all ready to go

I mean it has to be pretty bad for that to be the case?

Well I wouldn't be paying £200 for what is effectively a shit caliper.

I'd be finding something similar or off another bike.

Yamaha don't make calipers, Nissin are usually their preferred supplier. So I'd be looking at other Yamaha's of a similar era that used the same brake setup and grabbing a caliper off of one of those.

Possibly a YBR or something. Check the part numbers for compatibility:

A quick look on Fowlers suggest the DT50R ran the same brake.
