34L Brake Caliper - better out there? Twins?

Hi guys,

Starting my 34L rebuild soon and I'm going to start with the front end. I was thinking about replacing the complete front end but I might just stick with the original and put new Wilbers springs in the shocks.

First up..... The front brake caliper. From what I know it's a single piston setup. So I'm either going to take it off and rebuild it or find something a bit better out there. Are there any twin piston calipers that will fit on the 34L?

Also I bought the Clymer for the "XT600 & TT600" - I presume there's not much different between the XT600 and XT600z Tenere so the manual should be ok?

Thanks,

The first run models of the 34L has a diferent caliper than later 55W and 1VJ models.I think by replacing the whole front suspension or you stick with yamaha parts like later XT 600 models.I don“t think the caliper alone will fit your 34L bottle.
Unless you make a adapter plate for bigger disc too?

OK cheers. Looks like I might be best to stick with what is there and just rebuild it. Might as well replace the hoses with something braided while I'm at it
