It's a caliper Shadow with glow in the dark pads. Someone looks like they painted it.

My calipers don't look like that.......
Thanks Jeff

No , the caliper is black, the pads are lime-**** green. There are two pictures listed, have a look at the other one. it is for the LBS which is why it looks different from yours.....

very poor italian to english traslation
"
in Honda cbr 1000 f from 1990 in then, clamp brake left with stirrup for attack to refrained pump for the double one, is to three pistoncini, two is for refrained front and one for the refrained one with the posterior one and becomes mixed, all working does not have losses of oil, has new tablets ferodo seeds, this clamp is optimal for who does not have the refraining mixed and separated system and wants to modify own.
if I serve you other measures I ask I am on hand, within the 24 hours I always answer, OK?
PS: since I be a matter myself of sale between private I cannot give guarantee, but they are sure that he can go well for a beautiful one po of time.

seen formula and piaciuto.
Attention, for purchasers who mean to pay with mark will come addition the figure of €uro 3,00 for commission expenses mails them, however to contact always before the vendor, thanks for the collaboration, ciaoo to all, (only for purchasers in Italy).
"

Maybe rear brake caliper? Definately for linked brakes.

It is the Ferodo pads that are green.

My Italian isn't that great, but the add does say that this caliper is equipped with Ferodo pads.

Odd though. I've never seen green pads for the CBR from Ferodo. EBC has some green pads for Suzukis. Check these out: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FA146...QQcmdZViewItem.

Another oddity is that this add is for a 1990. Yet the caliper is clearly from a linked brake bike. I thought they didn't start the linked brake option until 93.

If you stick thim in dirt and water them, you'll have a nice crop of Ferodo brake pads in no time! That's probably why they are green!

It's a front left caliper for LBS. Here is mine after I de-linked. I had to make a mount to replace the linkage that would have held the top to the secondary master cylinder.

I simply don't understand bright green pads. YUCK!
