    K&L brake system parts suck. I have a bad master cylinder kit and other people have gotten bad caliper piston seals. Get OE parts from a source like babbits, Part Shark, Cycle Parts Nation, etc.

      +1 on ED's comments. Go OEM for brake parts.

          I bought kit's from Georgefix on Ebay. They were K&L and they worked fine.
          These were for the front and rear calipers. I used OEM for the master cylinders.

            Hey Bill,

            Remember Jeff's brake calipers where the piston was binding? K&L caliper kits! He bought them brand new.

                He did but I double checked. Couldn't actually see anything wrong other than the piston didn't slide easily though the seal plus of course the problem where the lever was always spongy.
