XS650 project

I scrubbed and cleaned up the caliper parts using automatic transmission fluid. It works well to loosen up the grunge.

All four pistons had pitting.

I bought two new sets from ebay seller Kenosha Kid in Germany. They are beautifully machined stainless steel, and at an excellent price.

The new seals and bleeder screws and caps are from MikesXS.

I wanted to use the modern Yamaha emblems, so bought some from ebay seller storecxdotcom. These are 4.5 cm, so a perfect fit.

Here they are ready to install. The paint is VHT 'satin black' caliper paint.
