I noticed that both caliper bodies ff/rr are now discontinued. For my 2000 KX 500. What are my options? Any aftermarket ones? Get used ones and totally rebuild them to like new (or better) condition. My Calipers are fine. Aside from some brake dust caked on them. But I would like to have some backups. I was hoping to avoid a brake job this year and still think I will just brush the dust off them, and replace the pads and call it good for this season. What I would like to do in the meantime, is get both a front and rear caliper body used. And have them completley rebuilt inside and out to better than new condition. I really would like them polished too. or P.coated black. Then I will just mount them on the bike and get SS lines for them, And bleed the systems. And then have brand new brakes. What about master cylinders? If they are not leaking, no need to rebuild them right? Is there any way aside from tearing them apart completley to tell if they need a rebuild? Like I said my brakes worked fine last season, All I think they really need is a brush off and new pads. But I wanted to spit shine them a bit, Any suggestions on how to clean the brake dust off the caliper bodies, And not recking the seals when you push the piston back in for the new pads? or is the only way to do it right a complete rebuild?
Aside from all that, I would like to find both a fr and rr caliper completley rebuilt and polished or P. coated black. Anyone want to take it on and give me a rough price for the job let me know. PM me.
