Question 83 kz550 front brakes

Hey everyone, I just bought a 1983 kz550 lmtd. I need the complete front brake system from master cylinder to calipers and pads, and everything in between. I have looked online but just cannot seem to find the parts. anyone have any ideas? Or does anyone know of aftermarket parts that will work?

boots, if you know your fiche numbers and have measurements, another year or even make of bikes calipers may fit.

This may sound ignorant, but I don't know what a fiche number is. Also I tryed bikebandit.com, but kz500 is not one of the bikes they have oem parts for. Thanks for the help though. Soon someone will have an answer that is spot on.
