Is this a Brembo P08 or a Bremo F08? What about replacement?

I have a brake problem. My 900 SS has a broken bleed nippel in the rear brake. See picture:

Is this a P08 or a F08?

Can I replace this caliper by the one on this website which has only one bleednippel instead of two?

Hi Michael,

this is a BREMBO F08 right side caliper, it is a special 'shaved' or 'narrow' caliper used on bevel drive 900SS. It is a bit narrower and requires a thinner brake pad than a normal F08 caliper.

Click > http://www.shop.bevelheaven.com/detail.aspx?ID=275 for the caliper you need. Replacements are a bit different but mount and work exactly the same. They come complete with new pads, ready to drop in.

If you need replacement brake pads for your front calipers, click > http://www.shop.bevelheaven.com/detail.aspx?ID=173

If you would like, I can most likely remove that broken bleed screw for you, so you can keep the original style caliper. I do offer a brake repair/rebuild service. Contact me offlist for more info or give me a call.
