be careful with after market rubber seal kits. I had no end of faff replacing pattern seals that were bought from Wemoto, they are crap quality and expand with fluid/moisture so that the pots will grab the discs, it actually warped one of my EBC discs on the VFR on the first use.

Replaced with Honda, and 10k miles later, no drama's.

If its brake seals, always go with Honda. Its a piece of mind thing also; it's for your brakes, you cant afford to comprimise on cost for the sake of a fiver if its brake components.

There is a firm in recomended, classic honda spares i think, who does stainless pistons with seals. I have fitted many of these and never had a problem but go direct its cheaper than fleabay. Also you MUST clean out the seal groove, especialy the corners perfectly with something like a dental pick, a wire brush in a dremel only polishes the crap and not remove it

You will get the seal at your local dealer and not pay postage!

No only the early single caliper 750(and 500,400 etc)
F2 is 43209371006 and 45109371006 for the dust boot. The 371 means its same as a GL1000
