Now What?

Post by Coyote »

I went to great pains to restore my caliper to as new condition. Now I find out that the label is extinct. Part number 68334-18400. Anybody have a spare new one? I had 5 of them at one time, but they all got used. If I had known they were NLA I would have been more careful removing the old one and tried to re use it. I'm surprised that Suzuki dropped the label. I mean it IS free advertising for them.
I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.

Are they across the pond? Shipping prohibitive? Now I wish I had done it like the ones I modded for RedZone. A little Bondo, a little elbow grease -----------------

It doesn't matter to me. It just needs to something in that 'window'.

Hey Coyote, I wonder if a brake fluid change would have saved some of "the great pains" of restoring those calipers??

LOL just having fun Bro. I'll see if I have some spares
You gotta pull the wire to go fast
