Brake Clipers

[yyt]

I'm in the calipers restoration stage of my slabby 750 86.

My question is  whether the caliper's condition is not as bad as it looks..

The Piston seal grove is reasonably OK.

The Wiper seal grove is???

The pictures show the worst..

What do you say?

Should I give it a try to see if it will hold the pressure or I'm wasting my time with this set and start looking for a new one.

Yep give it some 600 wet and dry then clean and put back together,  they will either leak or they won't but looking at pics doesn't look too bad

+1   Also, give the groove a smear of anti-corrosion grease before fitting the seals. Don't forget to give the seals a dose of Red Rubber Grease too!

Grateful for your advice.

Now I will order the 8  pistons from powerhouse.

Was waiting to see if to start looking for a new set or get it fixed.

Worse case scenario ... they leak. Source two better ones, and fit all your nice new bits into them. But, I'll be surprised if they don't hold pressure.

Can anyone please change the "clipers" to Calipers?..

Almost finished  with the front Calipers, just need to add the tubes and bleeding the system.

If you were wondering why the caliper are silver.. well.. don't know what was on my mind! But because the clear lack of the original silver paint of the front forks turned yellowish. It got stuck in my mind that the forks were originally anodized.

Got the anodized like paint, matt clear lack. well.. I almost stripped everything and paint it silver/aluminum color like i was supposed to.

But i thought it looked so good, so i'll left it.

That's  why the calipers had to be different, otherwise it would have looked like a lump of gold stuck at the front..

Anyway. I'm happy with the result.
