Hi All
I started rebuilding my front brakes on the 81 KZ1000 LTD. The pistons are roached, where can I find new ones?
TIA

I agree, Abbey and Steve are wonderful to talk to! I've been working with Steve to get their milling correct on their KZ900 caliper pistons. Ones they were offering were too long and dust seal side too wide. Also couldn't re-use the spacers and retainer from original piston because the hole was incorrectly cut. So i've sent them original ones to copy from, hopefully they've got it sorted now?

Some photos to show what i'm referring to on the KZ900 piston and why the ones from Steve don't equate to original. While Steve sorts stuff out i've gotten my pistons from HVC Cycle out of Nebraska. Have had Brad specialty cut many pistons for me. Sorry about going off topic Sal!! But thought this info would Help, brakes is brakes..
