Title: Caliper Rehab? Post by: GregP on August 27, 2008, 09:55:13 AM Anyone have a resource for break caliper rehab? I have a set of calipers I bought and they are cosmetically subpar and probably could use a rebuild (if there is such a thing).
Any chance this is something a guy with my limited mental abilities could swing myself? Suggestions, thoughts, or comments? Title: Re: Caliper Rehab? Post by: gm2 on August 27, 2008, 10:01:31 AM ....Speeddog
Title: Re: Caliper Rehab? Post by: GregP on August 27, 2008, 10:21:01 AM FYI Tokico 4 piston/4pad gold calipers from an 04' GSXR 1000.
Need paint and service/rebuld if possible. I have a bid on a cleaner set but won't know until Friday. I bought a set of forks and the guy threw in the ugly calipers. I couldn't say no but know that I've had time to look them over I don't want to take a chance with suspect breaks. Forks being sent out for build ASAP so trying to get the bits together for the fork swap. Title: Re: Caliper Rehab? Post by: supafly on August 27, 2008, 12:17:33 PM maybe something like this:

Rebuild kits are available from Suzuki, about $75 per caliper. Wheeeeee.... He said that unless they're leaking, just disassemble, clean, mask, paint, clean, reassemble. Title: Re: Caliper Rehab?
