    Hello Lads just a quick hello from Ireland DSC_0259.jpg
    That's my lovely blade which I managed to fluff up today be overtightening the retainer pin on the left caliper which cracked the casting and now fluid is pissing out.before the slaggin starts I was using a torque wrench and the other 3locked up fine, the last one just popped before the tq on the wrench was met so I don't know if it was bad casting or previously weakened from over tightening.anyways if any of ye know of a lhs caliper somewhere for sale I'd appreciate the link.Id post in the wanted section but I need 20 or more posts.
    Cheers
    Pat

    Welcome to the forum, eBay usually has a selection of calipers or take it as the bikes hint to upgrade to brembos you won't regret it ;)

    Can't afford brembos,they would be nice though.I ended up getting one off eBay but it's coming from the states and won't be here until the 6th aug so I'm going to miss the best weather we've had all year dammit
