Just got back email from Powerhouse and they have them in plated steel :-( and can't provide stainless ones yet (maybe by July). Will have to look elsewhere then...

According to Wemoto

They have SS pistons and seals listed here at 37.00 per piston

I have used them in the past for brake bits for the Skruffy Kat and not had probs

Have you got a link to those so I can see if he's got any rear ones for the GSX1100.

I got the ones from Webmoto in the end. I contacted them by email and they were really helpful in that I didn't need the seal and dust covers, so did a special order for me that removed them from the order, so £45 for the pair for the rear inc VAT and postage. Not too bad.
