After 92000 miles suffering bad with corrosion. Cheers. Taze Think there's a company called Mr Skip, should be able to do exactly the right thing for calipers that old. Gram some fresher ones from ma breaker would be my advice, unless they're priceless relics off something.

David W Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 Such is life 'Foolery. When you're Chief Exec of HG and have minions running around your air conditioned hanger that keeps your bike collection at optimum heat and humidity you'll look back at these impoverished days as character building.....
