Yes, I think I will get the part from them, I will go direct to the website and get pads too.
I was just about to ask if that supplier had a good reputation, mainly because I did not see Julies' store having the part. Nor does 400fourbits have a nice enough replacement.
Bryanj:
Some people disagree but i have always had good service from him, buy the kit with the seal and clean the seal groove out meticulously
Mikep328:
Yes, replace the piston.
FWIW, I overhauled the front brake on my 400 last year. It had been worked on by the shop that sold it to me, which included a new SS piston/aftermarket seal. The brake was ABYSMAL and that's generous; the rear brake generated more stopping power!
I went through the brake, removed the (new) SS piston they had installed and replaced it with a (way more expensive) Honda piston, replaced the (new) aftermarket seals with Honda (way more expensive) seals, and replaced the brake lines. With a new set of pads and some serious attention to breaking them in properly, the front brake was transformed into a very good brake!

Bought one a few weeks back from them and it arrived promptly and a decent product.

Not being funny here Mike but the fact you did so much work on it all at the same time sort of confuses what was causing the poor brake performance, doing one change at a time is far more informative as it highlights what was the problem, it could have been such a simple thing as air in the lines and you changing the lines fixed that problem.
