Continuing - So what did you do to your bike today...?

[Hooli]

I sorted my snapped bolt in the front caliper, just for Barmy I fitted one with a different head at the end of the job. Although that being the only M4 bolt I had might have had a bearing on it too.

I'm glad I've got a pillar drill, it makes life so much easier when fixing this sort of thing.

So that's 2 shiny bolts now Andy - whole bike will be refurbished by 2021 at this rate 

[Hooli]

Sorry Barmy but I finally cut down a proper dark bolt for the rear caliper & put that in too.

[GSXKING]

Is all that muck on the caliper brake dust ? 

[Andre]

It's Anti-Theft-Coating

[Notty]

Fitted new Hel rear braided line  I know for you guys its simple stuff but for me its a real achievement and I couldn't have done it without this forum - thank you 

[seth]

Dont worry @Notty
everyday a school day we all are learning new stuff all the time

[Hooli]

It's a stealth & anti-theft coating created by wearing brake pads during use...

TBH that's quite clean for my calipers.

No apologies Andy, like to see you keeping it original buddy

As long as they work Mate, Wish i have two 14, one to keep clean and other to just not care about, just ride like you do. Unfortunately im not into not perfectly clean, born a bloody Virgo, annoys me sometimes. Annoys most people who know me.

[GSXKING]

Another bloody VIRGO

Not sure why any effort is spent on this caliper. We can even see the dust seal of the middle cylinder.

Too much torque on the pad pin?

[Andre]

It's a unique identification mark that will help Hooli to recover it in case someone stole it and tries to sell it on fleabay.

I missed that one as I tend to not look at things that may make me suffer a stroke.

Indeed, I heard he actually gets donations left beside it when it's parked up & sometimes even a bottle of wash liquid.
