          I always enjoy your pictures.

          You must have good internet speed. It would take me a week to upload those pictures.

          I love your license plate!

                      Getting ready for the trip next month to XS East with a brake upgrade.

                      Here are the parts: New floating rotors, pads, caliper kits, banjo bolts, wheel bearings.

                        Started with wheel bearings. Remove the seals. Always use heat to remove/install bearings as it is an interference fit. I use a split type bearing extractor. Once the outside metal is heated (warm not hot) they come out easy with a few taps.

                            I dunno, if was going to invest in floating rotors I'd probably go with genuine organic pads. The Sixities fit but seem a bit aggressive, at least on my stock rotors.

                              New bearings have minimal grease. I always remove both seals and re-pack.

                                Heat it up and install the bearings and inner sleeve. If you forget the sleeve the bearings will wear quickly and you can die.

                                Once the bearings seat with a distinct "TINK" sound, you are ready to replace the speedo drive and new seals.
