Fair focs to 74eldiablo for a splendid job on his STREETFAZER....You kind foccer, looks better now with the bellypan fitted, now just waiting for the final piece of the jigsaw THE "el diablo" logo for the tank to stamp my mark on a yamaha FZS600.
I meant if they last a year until i have to buy another set i'll be happy, if they last 2/3/4/5 years thats a bonus, the originals did a helluva good job
Why do they only last a year?
I see you were having some problems with non OEM brake piston seals as well, how’d you get on with them in the end? Is this the front or rear brake seals?
For the rear I had to splash out on new OEM ones to finish the job. I’m gonna do the fronts this weekend and I’m hoping I can re-use the old ones if they’re not too far gone.
JAYSUS...!
if ur going to all that trouble just get a secondhand set of stainless steel downpipes which will look (and be) a whole lot better....
Still wondering in this story But I will try to understand
Powerhouse UK do a kit which includes the seals if you slip the caliper like you have.I saw that kit, my fazer has only 1 central caliper o ring and the bleed nipples are good to go as are the rubber boots so i'll take a chance on the one i bought, it may be good, it may be bad lets see.the bike was £900 so i'm not gonna throw a lot of money at it, if it leaks then i'll take another path

Save the small o ring that goes between the two halves of the caliper The new seal kit won't have that. Sanding the piston could give you problems in the future. If you sand away the protective coating it might cause the piston to rust moreFrom the picture of the dirty piston most of the dirty haze cleaned up with a rag, i only lighty sanded it under the tap, yep kept that o ring.although i may source another one, it's all to do with what type of rubber it is, i found this out when my gasgas 250 enduro bike must have "nitrile" o rings for the exhaust.There's rubber and rubber
