While I have the front end torn apart to rebuilt the fork tubes I inspected the brakes. Theres lots of wear left in the pads but I noticed the exposed portions ofboth pistons appear to be badly corroded to the point of having a flakey surface. While riding the bike I noticed no problems with the braking action. Can the pistons be repaired (cleaned up)or should they be replaced? Is there a kit available to rebuild the calipers?
