fzr750 OWO1 calipers

Post by duckling »

I have a set of calipers that came with another motorcycle I purchased, but I don't know what it fits; though I do know the guy raced FZRs and it likely doesn't fit the 600. Someone on another thread said it might fit the FZR750T OWO1, whatever that is. So, is that also what the FZR750 wears? and- does it fit?
Thanks for thoughts. I want to sell them by the way, they are a set of calipers hooked to master cylinder and the whole system is in good shape and is sealed, though is missing a few pads and a few caliper pins.

Pictures would help.
Yes, that is a Single Sided Swingarm FZR600 that I built.

Something is lurking, waiting, wanting to be built......It calls to me from the darkness....

I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel....Then I realize that it is the train coming to run my ass over....

The OW01 was pretty much a street legal race bike that Yamaha put out in 1989. Very different than the FZR750. The OW01 also used Nissin calipers instead of Sumitomo (which is what was on the FZR750). Pics of the calipers you are speaking about will help get a better answer for you. I will say this, the calipers used on the FZR750 were the very same calipers used on the FZR600.
