Re: A MiniTwin is Born
 

Well, I've got a full Hindle low level one that'll go straight on yours. You'll get pulled by the plod in second though. :)

I'll be havinmg them shortened slightly and re-sleeved in Stainless and they'll be like new :)

Can anyone tell me if the pins on the calipers to the calipers mounts (with the rubber boots) are supposed to slide? Cos these one's ain't. and if they are, how do you get the buggers apart without damaging them?

Cheers,

Nice to see the previous owners repairs being removed.

On the the brakes the buckets working ones should fit as they are the same caliper design (still being used after 15 years) the Glides/ mounts maybe different but would fit the curvy items.

I want to here that free flowing hindle after a service.

Re: A MiniTwin is Born
 

yes they are supposed to slide :)

id love a full system but it has to be high level and then id need a remap that the only thing stopping me from getting one £100+ for system £125+ for remap

so for now i will just do the busa piston swap ;)

Re: A MiniTwin is Born
 

Yes they should slide with some resistance. Mine pulled apart with alot of effort, bang it in a vice push the caliper off

Re: A MiniTwin is Born
 

my old ones slide off really easily without the boots on

Re: A MiniTwin is Born
 

The pointy calipers Ifitted courtesy of Nobbylad were a straight swap so your bucket ones should do the same.
On the French Suzuki bits fiche the curvy ones no longer available & they tell you to use pointy.

Re: A MiniTwin is Born
 

Well, It finally returned to positive temperatures so the bodywork preparation has taken on a new urgency!

5 hours of filling and sanding done today and I'll get some pics up tomorrow.

Its starting to come together. The Paint will be ordered tonight :D
