and what exactly do you find a problem with the standard item ? as I've said regularly serviced the pads are not only easy to change, but the caliper itself will easily lock the back wheel if required to do so, a pointless waste of money on the SV.

Forgive me I'm getting on, did you mean you've had a couple over two thousand SV's or a 2002 for ten years, the first I find hard to believe, but possible I suppose, the second is impossible as only 8 years has elapsed since 2002

have to say though i was very impressed with the brembo callipers on my rsv front end, who ever had them before didn't clean them at all and they have no corrosion at all. but on the rear calliper i think a good service every now and then would do

What is size of piston?
What is different about seals. Those use normal square section main seal and double lip seal dust seal.

Are pistons alloy and coated or steel and chromed?

How often you change pads? Mine were still OE after 40k. Why you care about anti squeal shims in caliper which does not squeal if serviced?
