I'm not sure what, or why you are asking.

I think this is the information you want, if not my apologies.

The left hand 4 pot brake caliper from an XR1200 will fit most other Sporties the main exception being bikes with 19" and 21" laced wheels as there is insufficient clearance, however bikes with factory alloy rims are OK.

I hope this helps
