So due to the rarity and price of the RGV (VJ22) Rear calliper what are you guys using, I've seen a few Brembos but is there anything else that fits? I did think about VJ21 but don't fancy the Torque arm ruining the line. For the Brembo option, is thereon that fits the VJ22 caliper fitting?
Cheers, Phil

KR1 is also the same I believe, A few have also used a Brembo caliper and a Tyga carrier.

I fitted the Brembo caliper and Tyga carrier;  20170810_144200 by David Miller, on Flickr It's a trick little set up but caliper and carrier costs about Ā£200 !! Are Vj22 calipers expensive ? Got one sat in my shed doing nothing. Dusty  |

Wow, I must go thru my RGV stash if they now sell for that money, eeek. I will say that the OEM RGV side by side twin piston unit is a nice unit, but wow...

Thanks for the replies, there is an NOS caliper on eBay at the moment but I can see the prices just going crazy! So Iām looking for a sensible priced one if anybody wants to sell š

I'm happy to take a calliper that needs rebuilding, I'll want to paint it anyway. I will check out the KR1 options.

I'll dig my caliper out of the shed if you like. I don't need it now as I fitted the Brembo. I've got the carrier as well - it was modded to fit the Met swingarm but still fits an Rgv arm as standard, if you are interested. Dusty |

Just measured my Tyga carrier and the mounting hole centres are approx. 85mm, so the GB Moto caliper wont fit unfortunately.

Cheers, Dusty, I have carrier or at least the bit that that wheel spindle goes through! mind you, I'm using a GSXR 400 wheel so that won't work! Yes, let me know.
