Looks good Lumpy, i have not tried mine yet as i dont take it out in the winter.. its been in the shed wrapped up since october .. i used calipers to make sure the washers were the same size and they are nice and flat so all should be good. I may take them off again but will decide when i get it out again. alex
That reminds me I've got one to fit now my original has seized (again), what size are the copper gaskets?
The genuine pads are around £35 each side.. i know the EBC are cheaper but i guess you get what you pay for. I agree fully EBC are nowhere near as good as the OEM but big difference in price.
Hi all.. just spend the evening in the shed fitting the blue spot calliper I got a few weeks back.. all went well and jobs done.. well happy with the result. Only thing I was worried about was bleeding the calliper.. I fitted the brake line and forgot I had the nipples loose on the calliper.. after a few minutes brake fluid starting running out on its own! I used an old brake disc to pump the pistons out and it more or less bled itself.. couldn't believe my luck!A lot better looking than the original!Matches the front now. I gather others who have done this mod have noticed the calliper isn't centre on the disc? I used a washer as marked on the above pic to centre it. Does leaving it slightly to one side make any difference? All in all good evenings work!alex
my ebay user ID is ajls1?
Ah right good stuff, told you they fitted the 600 lol. I put new pins in it along with new pads and other than a clean it bolted straight on with the mod of the hanger. Feels better than stock but will know better when get out out on the road after the winter.alex
That's good to know Lumpy.. if the weather stays as good as it is now I might get mine out sooner than I think!
LOL .. i use a Honda Transalp all year round then the fazer during the so called summer
