Installed the new seals in my front calipers yesterday. Introduced fluid into the caliper bleeder ports with a syringe and clear tubing. Bled brakes at calipers bleeders and at master cyl hose connection.
Ty-wrap installed overnight. Cut ty-wrap and went for a spin today. Front brakes are working perfect! :yahoo:

When I removed the old seals it was apparent they were swollen. I placed an old seal over a piston and there was abt a 1/8 gap between the piston and seal.
Thx David for the tip on fork oil swelling the seals!

Also received the pin and clips I was missing for the rear brake linkage. I'll be sure to carry a spare in the tool kit from now on.. 

Now for some tires..
Current: 84 FJ-1100, 84 IT-490
Prev: 77 RM-125, 72 Kaw H-1, 82 Seca 750, 84 RZ-350
Gotta love those 2-strokes!!
