front caliper rebuild. everything thoroughly cleaned & replaced all the seals. found out that I actually cracked the right one. ended up replacing that one.
Attachment 29825
all new stainless and pre-drilled hardware from Pro-Bolt. Have a new set of Performance Friction pads that I'll put in Sunday when I install the calipers back on.
Attachment 29826 Attachment 29827 Attachment 29828
once the side fairings get repainted & all the parts are installed & torqued, i'll put up a final picture for the completed project
How hard was the Caliper rebuild?
tricky thing is getting the pistons out. we used an air compressor to pop out the 1st piston out. then used a c-clamp to hold the 1st piston back in, and forcing the 2nd piston to pop out.Quote:

also remember to keep everything labeled for right & left calipers.
Fixed. Those things come out like bullets.Quote:

Reason I ask is because I've never had to spend nearly as much time taking a street bike apart as what I'm seeing here......then again, I ride Yamahas and Hondas so maybe there's my answer...:dunno:
BTW; I'm really digging those wheels! Guy is selling a pair of Carrozzerias for my FZ1. Too bad they're 19-friggen-hundred!
No. Jim get's something into his head, asks questions not caring about the answer and then does what he wanted to do in the first place. It's a pretty known formula. He's also fat.Quote:

I guess I just follow the mantra "Ride more. Worry less."
BTW, when did Jim get all serious?

When Degsy adopted him as his second son.Quote:
