Hi
Brembo will not supply rebuild kits for their calipers and master cylinders for pretty much any made in the last 20 years.
Depending on who you believe it is either that the units are regarded as beyond saving when they need a rebuild, or that Brembo are scared of the product liability issues of someone making a mess of a rebuild.
Some makers insist on rebuild kits for the calipers / master cylinders used on their bikes, and some of these are available. However I have been lead to believe that Brembo use different seals on these OEM units to their normal stuff to prevent their use on other calipers / master cylinders.
As such you only real hope is to get a rebuild kit from Aprilia, and don't think they list seals for your bike.
All the best

What Keith said. It's the same for trying to get brake piston seals for them.
Supposedly KTM can get Brembo seals but no other manufacturer can, so it may be worth seeing if you could get a KTM repair kit that's for the same master cylinder?
