I removed the front brakes assemblies, disassembled/cleaned. I need to get at least the slider boots, prolly pads and even dust shield. I didnt try removing piston-should I? and replace its seal too? I'm wondering if I should just have a local dealer get me my parts?...TIA!
ps. just called dealer $200.00! pads-32.00per side, caliper seals & dust seals-32.00 and slider boots-10.61 x 8!! Wow!

I would recommend you pull the pistons and replace the seals to do it correctly. Where are you at on this planet? Check out Boulevard Suzuki and Parts 'N More as I don't think I paid that much for my daughter's calipers (will have to check the other computer for the exact fees).
 
79' 850 just added to sig..:o Fronts for now. Looks like piston seals & dust seals, slider boots(hammered!), orings in 2 slider bushings, 3 hoses w/sealing washers, pads(both sides) MC piston/cup set, resevoir oring, diaphragm & plate, a little grease & fluid.
I removed the 2 screws inside resevoir but it seems stuck? I havent tried removing the piston/cup set yet.
 
Why not just find a pair of good used '80-up calipers from either an 850G or 1000G and get better braking too? :confused: A purist?

Yea I guess so....anyways, no reason to "buy" what I already have...guess I'll just have to bite the bullet & step up to the plate haha. If it'll last another 35, I guess its worth it..lol

Lots of guys here on the site have used them, I have them on my GS and my FZ, and no issues, can't beat the price

I ordered all the front brakes rubber stuff today, cleaned all the parts up & hope to see them Friday/Sat. I used an unorthodox way of removing the M/C circlip which may have led to its demise:rolleyes: Does the kit usually come with that clip and/or that plastic washer too? and actually, theres like 2 circlips, I think 1 holds that end rubber boot on??
