dick65 0 Posted February 8, 2012 thanks lads,took a bit of work to get it to how it is now the half i used from my bike was really clean but the supposed working caliper i bought to replace the other broken half was really rough i just needed 1 half though so that saved a bit of time,i got nos original yamaha seals for £7 and a set of speed bleed nipples for £6 so didnt cost too much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
