Well here goes. Turns out the "refurbished calipers were rebuilt but the seller hadn't cleaned anything up behind the new seals. The calipers had to be split and cleaned and fully rebuilt. The amount of crap behind the seals was no joke. I emailed the seller and 'politely' voiced my anger and displeasure and also got in touch with ebay (what good they can do I don't know but you don't know if you don't ask) so I've reassembled the calipers with the right fluid and red rubber grease etc to which I have got them bled up to a point of being a good feel but they aren't microswitch power biting. So with a serviceable front brake system the bike is now rolling once again but with a shockingly tarnished set of calipers. I will be taking it for a shakedown ride tomorrow morning but needless to say I am on the hunt now for some monoblocks (cbr tokico, nissin etc) and a radial master cylinder. I just need to know which ones will fit for example cbr1000 late model monoblocks, gixer and which radial master cylinders I can easily get hold of etc. Would a pair of cbr tokico monoblocks from an 08 model fit my forks with a gixer radial master cylinder of similar year??????

In the near future I will be stripping off the brake setup on my CBR trackbike, there will be Tokico monoblocs and a Brembo 19x20 master cylinder for sale.

If I don't purchase any before that through desperation or frustration then I will certainly be curious as to the price. Pmsl
