[BruKen]

Frame no good?

Give the guy a break  :roll:

I'll have the engine please  :lol:

Seriously, have a nosey around for non OEM Nissin parts, my local mech. is a star at coming up with original parts cheaper than from standard sources. No idea what a seal set cost but I'll bet he managed to get them cheaper than that. I'll have a word with him during the week and see if I can get the gen on where they came from.

[BruKen]

Ta Sin. I was being flippant about the engine, tho the price of parts is discouraging when you consider that just to replace the brake systems would basically exceed the resale value of the bike.

:roll:  Tell me about it, my invoice from JL ran well into 4 figures  :shock:

non-OEM piston and seal kits work out at 35 per caliper from here....

There are a couple of cheapish calipers on Ebay at the moment if the problem is more extensive.

If you're going run a steamer you need to be determined, resourceful and resillient.  Or have a large disposable income.

Well one that came from the darkest , dampest , depths of the shire is going to need lots of love .........................

I wonder what the internal bits of the clocks are like ...................

Have you cracked the forks open yet to see what kind of evil lives inside  yet ?

If your calipers are not internally pitted on the pistons you should be able to blow compressed air into the brake line hole and both pistons should pop right out easy .............hell you might not even need seals

yes I should've remembered that from the first tiem I owned one!!  :D

[Sin_Tiger]

Had a word with my mech. last night, couldn't remember part no.s but Honda/Nissin outer piston seals from a 200cc Phantom and inner seals from a NSR 150 SP1 will fit and the rears he thinks were also Phantom. Not sure if those models were available in the UK or US but it's an indication if you are resourceful, indicative cost was less than US$ 10 per caliper  :)

Fortunately he has a good relationship with one of the local Honda parts disrtibutors and gets to go in and rummage.
