I'm in a situation trying to get the front brakes rekitted with seals etc. in short order - I need to get a safety inspection to get insurance, and my mechanic who can do the inspection is offering to do the brake rekit while doing the inspection. But he has limited time. Meantime the front brakes are dragging a bit, and since the bike is new to me and has sat for 20 years, it needs the rebuild (all this applies to the rear brake too).
So, I've come across the idea that the internals of brembos used on RGS's (mine is an 85) are the same as those on some BMW models. In my experience (I have a bunch of Beemers) the dealer chain is pretty good at getting parts fast, even for vintage bikes. So is there anyone out there who can confirm that there's a Beemer-Laverda Brembo equivalence, and what part number(s) I'm after?
Otherwise I'm going with Wolfgang (and probably lower costs). But if I can get this quick, I'll do it....
