New calipers
« on: June 10, 2008, 06:22:36 PM »
well after lots of trouble,and lots of nights,sat in garage trying to get me brakes sorted,i decided that new calipers was the way forward........the old one were just leaking air from the seals,and i did`nt want to spend good money on old calipers...............so i bought some 06 calipers from a crashed damage bike,that had done only 600 miles,so the pads are in good nick as well...............and it has proper sorted my brake proplem out :-P

there is no sponge feeling at all,,,,,,,,im well chuffed.............plus the new ones are in stealth black............... :headbang:
