70's Laverda/Dukes - Brembo question

[Baldini]

I know there's some members have 70's Lavs/Dukes, so I'm posting here.

 

I'm delinking brakes on T3/LM11, stock rear F08 caliper will not work well with std m/cyl. I am looking for a F09 Brembo caliper, preferably new as I'm told rebuild kits are no longer available. Brembo have discontinued this type. I think these were used on some Laverdas & pos Ducatis, so was going to try outlets for those bikes but does anyone know which models used them?

 

Thanks,

Rebuilld kits are readily available. I rebuilt a pair of F09 calipers on Monday. At my shop, we almost always have F09 aluminum pistons and seals in stock. It's the new calipers that are hard to find. They were used on some BMWs, too.

Thanks Greg. Yes, I've been told BMW shops here supply rebuild kits. Neither of the Guzzi shops I normally use carry them - one saying 2yr back order, the other just not interested.

 

Guzziology mentions I can use a master cyl(3066 6060) from a 96-97 Cali 1100 - would you know is this a direct replacement to T3 type using same mounting point? I know it is remote reservoir & I can find somewhere to put that.

 

Thanks again.

SO, the rear m/c?

 

I have never done it, so I'm not sure what's involved with that.

 

Is your stock master cylinder in that bad of shape that it can't be rebuilt?

[Baldini]

Greg, I'm advised that the stock F08 (which is what I have, tho I'm looking for a F09) caliper doesn't work w/ stock m/cyl. I need a smaller bore. Either change caliper or change m/cyl...

 

thanks,
