Brembo Front Caliper Sliders

Does anyone know where I can buy Brembo Caliper Slider Pins for a CB500V

I think this might be what your looking for: http://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/parts/by-part-number/partnumber_14545/


its part number 5 on this fiche: http://www.lingshondaparts.com/hpl/images_large/13MY5WEA/imge/F__0901.jpg

Part No 5 is the Brake Pad Hanger. I'm trying to find the two slide pins that are not numbered.

yeah thats an odd one, every fiche i can find is the same

my advice would be to phone David Silver spares and explain the problem, ive always found them good on the phone.

Contacted Dave Silvers this is the reply

Hi ,

Brembo calipers were a problem as they never seemed to list slider pins or pad shims . Unfortunately the only way to get them is with a new caliper which we do not stock . We can order them in at retail price .



I' am now really stuck anyone know who to contact at Brembo

Given the (probably) astronomical price of a new caliper, it might be cheaper to get some 'new' ones made by a local engineering company... how bad are your existing ones?

They are reasonably pitted as you would expect for a bike ridden through the last 12 winters. I will probably replace the bike next year as its getting towards the end of its economical life.
Thanks for your help

Seems a shame to bin it just for that.

There are some on ebay, like this one:

Don't know what it will go for, or how corroded the pins are, but it might be worth a look.

They say that Bike Torque are their UK parts distributor: info@biketorqueracing.co.uk has to be worth a shot


I'm a bit surprised at Brembo for not having better parts support!


If its really important to you, you could always fit a nissin caliper and master cylinder. They have every part still available, pins and all. I would be surprised if a clean up, lubrication and new boot wouldn't keep your existing caliper working perfectly for years to come though

E-mailed Brembo Dealer a week ago I have received no response. I would certainly think twice before buying Brembo products in the future due to there lack of support.

It doesn't make a great deal of difference if the pins are pitted; clean them up with a wire brush, replace the rubber boots if necessary as these are available as a spare and smother them with copper slip.

Mine have been like it for a few years and after having had the front brake seize on me and warp the disc I now make it a yearly job of stripping the caliper down and regreasing the sliders.
