Hello everyone.
I’m new posting here. Some years as member, But I hadn`t time to start my rebuilding nor knowledge to participate.
I bought some years ago one beautiful, rusted, dirt and long years asleep XS-650B (born in 74-75).Since I´m living in Spain, and the bike never was sold in Continental Spain, there aren´t old donnors. Only was little dold at my home (Canary Islands, free from Franco´s protectionism).
I am starting my task now. I don´t want do big aesthetic changes respect the original. Only:
As slow I go, the difficulties arose. Now, I´m circling around the front end.
I bought the round Master Cylinder (identical to the original). Now, the old caliper is death (Impossible to extract pistons. And even if I could, I wouldn't trust the rebuilding). So I´m thinking in two options:
1): Buying a new copy (Heiden) of the caliper (04 '74-'76)
2): Buying a dual piston caliper and adapt. Maybe from a XJ-600 (1984) or a XV-1100 (circa 1989).
Have someone put the XJ-600 caliper into the steel XS disc?
Could it be good combination?
I have many many doubts. Hope to resolve all, and someday bring my dear to live again.
Wait for your advice. Thank you much in advance.

- An RZ-350 PMA
- Steering Bearings
- Bronze Swingarm Bushings (or AllBalls Bearings????).
- Frontal oil radiator (like XJR-1300, example)
