wants $60 for them.. idk what they usually go for
also do I need to get a different mc or anything or can I just do a direct swap?
From what I see currently available on eBay. I would say that $60.00 is a good price for a pair. :good2:

That's about what I paid for my set. If you get them, spend the money and get the EBC HH sintered pads. Don't forget new crush washers as well. They are cheap and available at most autoparts stores.
And yes, you can use the OEM master, however, for better feel, source a 14mm from a FZ1. The stock one is 5/8s, but will still work.

I bought the whole front brake system(calipers, master cylinder, hoses and divider block) from a 2005 FJR 1300 from ebay for $85.00. So I would think $60.00 for the calipers is not too shabby. I'm not sure what pads came in the calipers, but they were nearly full thickness, so i'm running them and find the difference in braking very significant. Well worth doing.

FWIW, I liked the OEM bluespot pads better than the current EBC HH pads.
I'm going to try bead blasting the rotors as Jon Cain suggested and see if that improves the feel.
Ok sweet. Thanks guys!
I think I paid $180 last year and that included the calipers and master/lever assembly. The pads were also good and I got a complete season out of them. $60 for the calipers alone sounds like a good price.
