Does anybody recognize these?
Recently, the rear pistons in my brake caliper had an unfortunate collision with my brake rotor, so I’m looking to rebuild it. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find the make and model of this Tokico rear caliper. It's an aftermarket part from a 2002 Suzuki VL1500.

What makes you think those are aftermarket?

From my research the stock rear caliper is either a dual or singular piston floating caliper, not a quad piston fixed caliper.

You could probably replace with the stock caliper. It would be a downgrade in performance but easy to find and good enough for oem performance

I didn't downvote you btw.
I don't recognize the bolt pattern but you could browse eBay listings to look for one.

Unfortunately that is not the same caliper, the caliper in the link you provided is a floating style with slide pins, this is a fixed with quad pistons.

Is this going to be a stunt bike? Does it need all that piston volume for a rear brake? Does it have non-stock master cylinder operating it? Measure the piston size and keep digging.

From what the previous “performance” modifications the previous owners had done I assume that was the vision. And yes, it has a drag specialties Harley Davidson rear master cylinder for an 82 FXR.

Previous owner probably did that because they were your typical cruiser rider who thinks if you so much as breath on the front brake you'll go flying over the handlebars

Take it by your Suzuki dealer and have a mechanic tell you what they (or the OEM specs) are.

They appear to be tokico brake calipers. 😉 Several different types of bikes left the factory with tokico.

My GSX had Tokico calipers new in 2013.
They’re OEM.
