Question Single pot rear caliper question.

On an old MY95 Classic. Does anybody know if the single pot rear calipers are 'handed' (left-right)?

TIA

Yes they are. The bleed nipple is in a different position.

Is that a problem?

What I mean is - can a left hand caliper be fitted on the right hand side?

TIA

They will physically fit, however the bleed nipple would be on the bottom meaning you wouldn't be able to bleed the air out of them properly. So still a no go I'm afraid.
