BRAKE CALIPER PISTON REPLACEMENT
09/11/12 at 12:20:53
Hi all, after replacing the front pads on the bike the caliper is leaking brake fluid. Having had a good look at the piston, it is quite badly pitted and with the new pads in the pitting is below the seal. My question is what other bike has the same piston as the LS. This would give me a choice when looking for a replacement. Ls piston in UK is £50 about $75.
Thanks

You can get a whole caliper used andin good shape on eBay for as low as 10 bux. Just search there.

BTW, this is why you should replace your brake fluid every couple of years. Especially in wet climates

Haven't you tried Pinwall Cycles on ebay, a store in Ohio. I got a caliper there from a low mileage '03 bike and put it on my '06. The caliper was perfectly fine. They ship worldwide and perhaps are not all that bad if you request a quote.
