bongo compatible front calliper piston seal and dust seal

Post by Northern Bongolow » Thu Sep 13, 2012 9:41 pm

just doing the daughters suzuki gs250t 1981 front brake calliper and needed a new dust seal and piston seal. #-o .
luckily i had a spare bongo front calliper kit in stock. :) .
the seals were exactly the same although the bongo piston is deeper :cry: .

so anyone looking for an odd front calliper seal etc the suzuki kit is perfect, listed for the gs250,400,450 and others all early 80's.

Does that make her bike a Suzazda or a Mazuki? Useful info. I get my bike seals from Wemoto, might be worth a try.

they do them, but dont buy the piston kit, just the seal kit. the piston is not as deep as the bongo.
