Re: [St] Hayabusa calipers - Used v. New?



Chris,

I bought a used set off of e-bay and they were relatively inexpensive
compared to a new set.  Looked them over, cleaned them up and installed
them.  Have not had to remove calipers and do the monthly cleaning to get
the solid brake feel back since.  They just work!!

Best $$ mod I made on the ST - well except for heated grips.
