    any year liquid cooled 250r caliper will work, the difference in the 85 is the mounting bracket.

    Be real careful buying calipers on EBAY. Ask LOTS of questions and pray for straight answers. Even calipers that were " in working order" lots of times come with seized slide pins and you can easily ruin the caliper getting them out. They are a piece of cake to rebuild I would simply ask if the caliper body slides off of the bracket which means the pins aren't locked in place. Expect to pay 60$ to 100$ for a used one and then rebuild it. Occasionally I see some real clean ones but the fetch 12$ and up.

    Any tips on freeing up a seized slide pin? I've already ordered a new pin, just need to get the old one out. (86R)

    I found them so bad that they almost always need heat to get them out. There is a steel sleeve within your aluminum caliper body that gets seized to the pin and usually this comes out with the pin and is nearly always corroded and pitted. It is not replaceable but easily made up on a lathe. The fix for these is to tap a 1/4-28 thread into the rear of the caliper where the pin is and keep it greased to prevent seizing. So how do you get it out?? I made up a jig to put it in my press, the 1/4 threaded hole uses a #3 pilot drill hole. I drill the hole first and then use a piece of hardened dowel stock to press the old pin ot, it still usually needs heat. You can pry on it, beat it, try and vice grip it but most of them are locked in real good and by the time you get it to budge your caliper looks like sh!t from beating on it. FUN FUN!!!
