Thanks, Rogue....I have one but don't want to mess up the gold patina on the calipers. I use it for carbs though, for sure. And some other stuff....
Those pistons did not budge for me. Alas was just using air from a pancake portable compressor. I will give them more soaking and then take them...
Air takes a distant second place to hydraulic fluid - mostly because air can compress but hydraulic fluid doesn't. Capt 80's has a nice set up...
That.......plus Joe's V4 Dreams website - in particular his "Maintenance" page - and go to: #23 • Brake Caliper Disassembly and #2 • Rear Caliper...
You should be able to move the pistons in and out with a little gentle pressure. If you can't, your problem may be with your seals or pistons...
Nothing I can't handle......;)

One of the best shows ever! :) [MEDIA]

Ha - I have all kinds of repair materials incl. a plastic welder but nothing beats having one that was never broken so can't hurt to ask, right?
Interesting - I will take another photo this week showing them upright side by side. I think these were less $ than the Bridgestones, too.
To replace this one. Color not as important as condition of fairing. I'm located in New Smyrna Beach, FL 32169. Thanks! ~Bazza [ATTACH]
Thanks again guys.....here's another pic of the tires..... [ATTACH]
Wow......thanks, Capt......better news than I thought! Below 60 degrees......yeah I wouldn't even consider a ride unless it's at least 70! :)
The last bike I bought came with a pair of new (2024 date code) and unmounted Kenda brand tires. Front is a little narrower (100 vs. 110) and rear...
Off topic but you guys watching the Crew 9 splash down? Amazing engineering and really gorgeous weather for this historic event! [MEDIA]
100% - thanks!
