What prep did you do on the forks before you painted them? Just ordered some paint!

The rebuild continues front calipers.
Cleaned them up as best I could refitted the pistons, fitted the new braided hoses ready to re-install the calipers, new fluid. Couldn't rebuild fully due to not having any red rubber grease.

Bought some grease (the largest tub ever!) and eyed up the cans of plusgas, figured I was on the home stretch so it wouldn't be needed. and then decided that I should clean the caliper seal grooves out more, took 2 hours to get the pistons out again and get them cleaned up. Another hour to fit and hook up to the new lines.

Started to take the rear caliper apart, pad pins are firmly seized. Of course they are, not least because I didn't buy the plusgas....

Next task is to douse the pins and bolts of teh caliper in plusgas and service, fit new braided hose.

In the interim put the fairing back on. M7RR's should be here Monday ready to be fitted to loose tyres.

It's fun but I could do without the ********, I'd rather this was a dismantle and clean affair rather than broken bits and seizures... (of course).

If the pins are bad, you'll probably need to drill them out, drill a hole smaller than the pin diameter, and use a fine punch to drift them out, unless you can split the caliper and then plusgas & also heat around the pin hole.

Good work so far
