Scumbags in Hastings

<< < (2/4) > >>

Spitfire:
I knew F1 front calipers were like rocking horse poo from trying to source a spare one for my bike, but having one stolen like that is terrible, the really bad thing is that this must have been done by a "fellow" biker who knew exactly what he was after. I have heard of side panels and mirrors being stolen but a caliper is a first. Hope your replacement one works out.

Cheers

Den

Sorry to hear about the theft.
As Tomb states, spark erosion is definitely the way to go, even if you have to post it.

UK Pete:
Thats Bad news, and as den says it has to be a fellow biker who knows how difficult these are to get hold of, i try not to leave any of  my classic bikes unatended as unlike newer bikes they are irreplaceble, i suppose you were lucky in some respects that they did not take more or even the whole bike, good luck with the repair of your new caliper, the best way is spark erroding but it is going to add a bit to the cost making your caliper even more expensive, i would not bother drilling as its going to result in tears, it did for me

Waggles:
Crap luck Hairy, and typical insurance company response. Rather negates using a classic bike for transport if you can't go anywhere without a garage doesn't it.

For what its worth I agree with the others, spark erosion is the way to go and cheaper than a new caliper.

May 1,000 elephants crap upon the scumbags bike, preferably while he is on it.
