My CBF600S has the wrong colour front brake callipers. They have obviously been replaced at some point with callipers from a naked CBF600N which are black not gold. They are functionally identical and work fine but it is getting on my tits that it’s wrong. So for no other reason than to satisfy my OCD, I am going to replace them. I got a second hand set of gold callipers from eBay for £27 and at the same time I ordered a rebuild kit for them for £34 from Wemoto. I started stripping and cleaning the callipers up today and to my surprise they are pretty good. All threads perfect and pistons appear spotless. I am waiting for the tool to come to get them out and polish them up. I know there are other ways to get the pistons out but I wanted the right tool which is coming tomorrow. I would guess that I don’t really need to replace the seals but I am going to because I have the new ones on the bench. First attempt at cleaning has brought them up quite well. There are a few minors blemishes here and there but I think the callipers will look fine once they are on the bike, after all it is 18 years old. Of course there will be more cleaning before I fit the new seals. Before anyone pipes up, if this is boring fuck off and read about Marcy’s adventures. I am a bike geak and I like this sort of stuff.

Just stop oil for me, no oil no bikes. Some cyclists are arrogant arsewipes but they aren't campaining to get me off my bikes or want to take away my car.

I think BSA have learnt from the fuck up on the original over pricing of the Goldstar. I think for 3.5k the Bantam is a bargin. Proven bike sold for several years as a Jawa. Looks right to. Also the Scrambler is something people want. Now if that did a trials version of the Bantam that would sell hand over fist. Lot of people rolling around on modest small capacity bikes now, mostly old fuckers but I don’t mind that. More of us young or old has got to be a positive.

This place is getting very rainbows and unicorns lately Oh and congratulations Nute. Great picture

They are spendy as fuck as well, be cheaper to do a DAS course and get the real thing.

Moist

It’s a bloody abomination is what it is

Bugger

Hope the bill doesn't sting to much

Oh well, never mind. Talk about setting yourself up for failure.

Surely the whole point of BOTM is to get out to somewhere scenic on your bike and look. for a good photo opportunity. To have a bit of fun and share the experience. I think you missing the point of the exercise.

I saw a cat climb a tree yesterday, no Busa or Indian Challenger can do that

He is a complete delusional bellend without doubt. The only ones who are worse is Darcy and the Old Man. Fuck me what a pair of see you next Tuesdays . I try and be positive most of the time but those two are Vile.

Jealousy is a very ugly emotion

Freddies on the case

Amazon?

The pro is aluminium and standard is plastic. Standard one is fine. Good bit of kit. Get the vibration dampener or the bikes vibes will damage your phone.

I agree if I was in the market for that type of thing it would be the Honda. Especially if it’s true that there is a 500cc GB in the pipeline

Yeah but they are selling those sort of bikes hand over fist. Bike nights are full of them. You don’t have to want one to see the way the wind is blowing.

Yeah Buckster said.
