OK my last post got nothing....
So, if I want to rebuild the Brembo rear brake caliper, what size o ring do I need? Also, where can I get the part?

Try American Sport Bike. They've got a rebuild kit for the front, they may be able to dig up something for the back.

OK Talked to American Sport Bike. NO PARTS for the rear S2 brake. No rebuild parts from Brembo, its a throw away caliper. Twin Motorcycles in the Netherlands has a replacement kit for about $277. The other option is a 1998 Buell caliper, will check that out.

Easier to get parts for my 1969 Triumph....

Hi
Brembo parts are available, KTM used the same brake. Just have a look at ebay.

You could try disassembling the caliper, and then matching the o rings for size at at NAPA, or someplace that sells a variety of them. Just a thought.

Basti: Where would I look for that Brembo part, so far its a closed door?

Yes, it is just an o ring. Will try to bleed it and if that doesn't work take the o ring out and measure it.

Getting cranky in my old age...

You just need the small O-ring that seals the two halves together?
