I first thought that the pads were badly rusted but it seems like paper on the back but I suspect it's paint.
Before and after pad clean up.

The reservoir did not empty so no air got in from the top. Calapers and pads back in and re attached to forks, I have pumped the leaver and but obviously its going to need bleeding.
But will I have to do both sides I am thinking that the other side will be ok.
If it matters its braided lines two piece via a double banjo at the reservoir
I am dreading undoing the bleed nipple for fear of it snapping, I have some penetrating liquid sitting on the thread.]]> And do a good job of cleaning.

now... 64 million dollar question... is it worth going... cap... thermostat... before I go head gasket??? There is quite a build up of pressure when opening the cap... even now when it is cold... I will try and post a diagram of how I have installed the pipework... most have been changed for new from AS3...

I fitted some renthal ultra lows years ago and I don’t like them. They are too low and I feel I have to stretch for them and it’s uncomfortable.

What nice high up bars fit without having to change the throttle cables etc
