1998 600N Rear Brake Caliper

[ollyrag]

Hi all,
Am new to the forum, (done a little intro) Wonder if anyone could give me a bit of info. 
Looking for a rear Caliper for the above bike, spent most of today trying to find one.

Not played with bikes for years so not up with what parts are interchangeable between different models.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
Trying to do the obvious faults as I pull the bike apart, think I'm gonna be a regular on here.
Thanks

Is the old one completely fubar?

New seals, pistons, slide pins etc. are still available from e.g. Wemoto, and at least if you overhaul it you know it's OK, whereas a secondhand one from fleabay could be a pig in a poke.

I believe a caliper from a Thundercat can be persuaded to fit, but don't quote me on that - wait for someone who's actually done it!

Thanks for the reply Bob
Yes it's cattled, nipple broke and has a bit of stud extractor thats been well and truly mullered.
Bit of history, bought bike this week 1 owner 28000 miles with full history.
Got it with the caliper already off.
Am told that the R6 will fit, ?
Anyway it is a project for me, been away from bikes for years.
Want to sort the caliper then strip and re build.

Thundercat rear caliper perfect replacement, only difference inlet union is horizontal v original vertical.
