aleyesonme Posted September 11, 2014 Report Posted September 11, 2014 Did you rebuild either of those calipers? A rebuild kit is like $15.No I haven't.....tried to take apart to clean but didn't see where to disassemble Quote
03DMshee Posted September 11, 2014 Report Posted September 11, 2014 The pins are usually the culprit.... So will a 450 front caliper work to or is that pushing it? Quote
Starwriter Posted September 11, 2014 Report Posted September 11, 2014 Aesthetically, the block off plates look like ass. The shape doesn't even match the contours of the caliper. It looks like somebody put a Ford hood on a Chevy, but it's accepted because that's the way everybody does it. It screams, "I took off this useless piece of safety gear and put a bandaid over the hole". And for people spending hundreds on ti bolts, I bet a front caliper weighs less than a rear. Quote
aleyesonme Posted September 11, 2014 Report Posted September 11, 2014 Didn't think of the weight differences. ...pretty good point....I'm pretty sure some one will verify this tho Quote
bluebanshee98 Posted September 11, 2014 Report Posted September 11, 2014 If it keeps locking up and stays master cylinder is fucked Quote
aleyesonme Posted September 12, 2014 Report Posted September 12, 2014 If it keeps locking up and stays master cylinder is fuckedThanks for the clarity. ....got the front to mount and it stills lock up....so m guessing that's it Quote
trickedcarbine Posted September 12, 2014 Report Posted September 12, 2014 Didn't think of the weight differences. ...pretty good point....I'm pretty sure some one will verify this tho Oh geez, will some one please weigh a rear caliper with block off and a front caliper? I'll bet it's way less then a pound difference if that. Quote
special06shee Posted September 12, 2014 Report Posted September 12, 2014 With this mentality^^, your bike would never be light. I'm not big on cutting weight simply because im fat, but if i were seriously trying to shed weight i would totally run a front caliper on the rear, even if its a 1/2lb. Shit adds up quick. Quote
locogato11283 Posted September 12, 2014 Report Posted September 12, 2014 I don't have a rear caliper off a bike to weigh.. Front caliper with pads.1 pound 6 ounces Quote
Starwriter Posted September 12, 2014 Report Posted September 12, 2014 OK, I weighed them. The front caliper with mounting plate and no banjo bolt weighs 23.6oz. The rear caliper with mounting plate, park brake block off plate with bolts and no banjo bolt weighs 29.9oz. A total weight savings of 6.3oz. Not quite 1/2lb. Or the equivalent of about $100 worth of ti bolts. 1 Quote
