Wanted - '76 XS650 Brake Caliper

[cocinero196]

Looking for a complete '76 XS650 Brake Caliper set, i think this is the only year where the caliper was behind the fork. Please check pics attached:

Actually, this was the first year the caliper was behind the fork - all later years were also situated there.

Yes. But the '77 up calipers were totally different from the '76 calipers, the 73-75 calipers look more the same as the '76 model, except they are situated in front of the fork, not behind like the '76. I wonder if they are interchangeable? The upper bolts need to interchange for the fork mount.

Yes, I believe they are and the correct caliper including new brake pads is readily available new for under $100. It looks exactly like the original - plus you don't need to rebuild it. A rebuild kit and new piton plus pads would cost you roughly $75 - so you're not saving much with an old one.
