Watcha Rick, could you not just refurbish them ? lick of paint and some new pads/seals and fluid would bring em back to life

Hi odie
lots of bike from the early 8os had the same brake calipers fitted to them so theyre cheap as chips to get relacements or second hand calipers from fleabay.........try GS550,GS850, GSX750,1100, GS650 etc, etc........But theyre good brakes too if theyre keep in good fettle.............other than that you'll have to get some newer calipers from a more modern bike, but you'll probably have to make up some adaptor plates to be able to fit them to your forks...............or maybe even fit a newer more modern front end from another Suzuki.
hope this helps

Cool!
Callyboy does chrome.............maybe he wants to do a swap for your bling-ed up calipers!
