I've already been down that road. I would need to do it again now, which in reality means I could have just gone and bought the pistons the first time round. There is also the lottery element of buying on eBay. At least if I buy the pistons, I'll be starting afresh. And yes, two pistons per pot. Eighty squids for the complete set including new seals.

I looked at doing it for the ZZR, but with 8 pistons plus one at the back, I'm just going to have to live with them I think. managed to clean them up OK, but a bit of the nitride coating has come off - I'll just have to see how it lasts. it does stop OK with new EBC pads but you really have to grab a handful to stop quickly.

Looks like an awesome time was had by all.

Is the ApeMan finally admitting that he is also governed by the lady in his life? Welcome to the club buddy!

I never stated otherwise.

The difference is I am married and have children. You sir are single but still governed by a woman. That's just not normal, right or even acceptable.

Girfriends are great, if you don't like them you ditch them and do what you want.
Wives on the other hand, now that's a totally different ball game.
