- April 04, 2016, 14:32:47 PMGuys I just realized something... Is that rear pin holding the rod in ace a Jesus pin? Maybe the previous owner bent it all out of shape...

- April 03, 2016, 17:57:53 PMWell guys first time changing brakes on a bike and I must say I wish cars were this easy... Under half hour for both front and rear brakes. Only thing that was a pain was that darn safety pin in the rear to hold the rod in place that was a nightmare getting back in

hi no its directly from ebc as I know the owner... Just couldn't get him on the phone to get them for free. Not sure what pads are on there now man.

Be sure to check your pistons and that the seals are not leaking. But an easy job swapping pads.
yup just pads. Hopefully.... Thanks for perhaps Jinxing me
