Rear Caliper options

I have a GSXR 5.5'' wheel and disc in an aftermarket braced swingarm and need to sort out a rear caliper arrangement. I've had a look around and most people seem to switch to an 'underneath' caliper, but the torque arm lug on mine is on the top of the swingarm. I could have it cut off and welded on the bottom, but was wondering if there are any alternatives to using the standard Katana/gsx caliper (which is not the prettiest).

Any suggestion for an 'over the top caliper' that I could use?

Thanks

Liam

Thanks Dave, Had a quick glance across the 'bay and looks like it might be a good option. Other things that have been suggested are GSXF (teapot) or gsxr400 calipers.

Unless someone tells me I'm doing something stupid (for a change), I'll probably look for the cheapest/best condition and go with that.
