ok. I rebuilt my rear caliper and cleaned the pistons, etc. been riding for several hundred miles and the rear started to tighten up. got her stopped and used a screw driver to pry the pads off to free her up to get home.
now on center stand here is what i have found:
1. apply brakes and she is not locking up (a little tight)
2. pistons are rusted evidently from taking too much material off when polishing.
conclusion:
replace pistons @ $50 each from honda
questions:
1. do you agree the pistons are the culprit?
2. is that the going rate for new pistons?
2. should i replace the new seals since it tightened up and got so hot?
3. likely cost of good used replacement caliper instead?
thanks...
