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?

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.

Talked to my man that does the GSXRZXCBRYZR bike stuff full time....

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.

I appologize...  It won't happen again.  Since my tokicos went under the rail with the rest of the bike, and the Duc has Brembos!!! Yay!!!

Thanks for the heads up BD.  I won a fresher pair on ebay and am awaiting arrival.  If they are not up to spec I'll hit you up.
