Title: Its all about contrast
Post by: joebloggs on 03 November 2015, 11:46:02 am
Still need a little work on the bare alloy, want satin not polished look so few more min's with wire wool and it'll be good to go

Only took about an hour to remove the original paint and leave satin finish on the bits left bare (in front of the tv) few mins flating the other paint for a key for the new paint, five coats of paint in between polishing the swingarm, 15 min's in the oven to cure the paint, another half hour in front of the TV removing the paint again.

Bit more time with some wire wool/ wet and dry and I'll be happy with it.

Keeps me out of the pub  :D

Gave my rear caliper a couple or 6 coats of matt over the weekend, needs some flating back and a little work but considering where it sits I'm not going to be over fussy with it

Loosely mounted on the carrier, some serious polishing needs to be done now as the wheels are now very shiny


Bolts are Ti, the nipples stainless

That rear calliper has come up nice, i have 2 in the garage that are in need of repair, i have an FZS1000 on mine, did you split the calliper?

Did you need to replace the o-ring pieces???


I might dig mine out and try giving them a spruce up

Yes I slit it, was seized but pistons ok so got a set of seals. You might get away with using the original o rings but mine were in a state so replacing them too. Going to go to local auto factors for them , far cheaper than standard parts

Post by: anutz on 17 November 2015, 02:00:44 pm
ok i have 2, one i split and needs new seals, the other may need splitting just to get the pistons out and give it a good clean, but Sinto may well be having them soon so, Sinto, pay attention!

my old caliper i took off and never got back together, mainly as i did the FZS1000 upgrade...i need the seals that go in between the bits, i am sure someone said they had some they would send if i sent my address...

Just gota decide if I can justify £50 for a steel/aluminium sprocket or to bolt the original back on.

Nah, what it really needs is a new hanger and the smallest hydraulic caliper I can find.

Yeah, those Chinese brembo ones are pretty good for rear brakes
