OK, so I'm trying to get the old girl back on the road.  I have a leaky front brake and leaky clutch.  Are these the parts I need?  1989 FJ1200.  I'm in Maryland/DC area.  Thanks!

ACK!  I just realized I replaced the front caliper with the R1 modification.  What years worked with our FJs?  I seem to recall 2004 or something like that.  Thanks again!

My 84 was leaking from the masters and slaves clutch and brake the seal kit for the clutch didn't work for me so I bought a used slave and slapped it in the engine clutch has works well since my masters are non standard as well because seal kits didn't work in them as well. The R1 calipers in the front work well no leaks but like you the year escapes me I just call em gold dots and blue dots

I know a guy who might have those parts...

The 2004 R1 used a downward bolt caliper so they are not off a 04 R1. I believe the 1999-01 R1 & 2004-05 FJR1300 are the same. I also believe the 2002-2003 R1 are the same despite have slightly different part numbers. I think it has to do with the actual piston, one is steel one is aluminum. (Father Pat may know more on this)

I agree with Hooli those do not resemble any Yamaha part numbers I have ever seen

A lot of places use unique part numbers to make it difficult to shop the price elsewhere.

I recall in the past calling the dealer to inquire about pricing and availability, etc of a part.  When I would ask for the part number I would get; "We don't give out part numbers."

Several online places are also like this.

You may be right, sorry about that.  Those part numbers are from bikebandit.com.  Is there some place you guys use these days?  I did find a few necessary parts last night, the long suspension bolt and the broken mirror(long story of yet another broken antler).

Thanks Robert, I may be interested in those.  I need to look closely to see what really needs worked on.  Hopefully by this weekend.  I don't think the master on the clutch needs rebuilt but guess it depends on where the fluid has leaked.  Any pointers for checking what needs to be replaced?

If the MC is not wet it is likely not leaking there. Pop the three bolts off that hold the slave cylinder on. DO NOT CRANK OR START THE BIKE WITHOUT THE SLAVE BOLTED ON If it is wet there or all grungy the slave needs to be rebuilt or replaced. Unless the line got chafed somehow, those are pretty much the only two spots to check.
