Brake calipers
« on: January 31, 2015, 09:48:28 PM »
Hello having f****d up my brake callipers i am looking to replace them with a decent pair ( i am not on a rush but..)
I'll be browsing the net to see if a pair comes up at a decent price.
My bike is a K2 are other model suitable?

Does this forum have a part swap or sale session?

Regards

Why are they Fu..ed up ? These are not a easy part to find second hand in good condition. DSS do repro replacements.

This f****d up.

My last resort will be DSS, I guess I have plenty of time before I get to the brakes.

Thanks

Do they block imageshack in France, Bitsa? They look like someone has attacked them with a cold chisel

I have studied the photos at length and I concur , they are f*cked, DS repro parts is a good bet cos you know they will work perfectly, costs more than second hand but it's worth it to save hassle, if you do end up getting second hand ones and need to remove the Pistons its best to blow them out (with air not dynamite).

Bloody hell that's one hell of a mess. Had a friend try to drill out a broken spark plug out of a 400/4 head and what a mess he made. But did restore the head to good again. Moral of the story if you cannot do it leave it alone

Unfortunately there is no reset button in real life. It's a very costly lesson.
