Finally done with the front rebuild. Thanks for the pointers! I have enough brake lube to last a lifetime. I bet that stuff is good to use when getting the carbs in the boots.

Hoping the pistons went in properly & I didn't roll an O-ring, can't tell till I fill them. Will do the rear next.

Now comes the joy of figuring out how to remove the remaining 4 brake hoses the easiest way. The MC/Proportioning valve looks to be really tightly packed in there.

82 XJ1100 Maxim "hurricane"- DEKA EXT18L AGM battery , NGK BPR6EIX spark plugs, Green Dyna coils, Sylvania SilverStar Ultra H4 bulb, 139 dB Stebel Nautilus air horn, Home-made K&N air filter based on an original paper filter frame, new piston rings, Barnett Clutch Springs, SS braid/Teflon brake lines, TKAT fork brace, rebuilt calipers, master cylinders, new brakes, reupholstered seat, lotsa little things and so many answered questions here.
