$50 too much?
« on: July 09, 2010, 02:26:31 PM »
I have the chance to get a stainless steel front brake piston for $50 plus $9 shipping is that too expensive? 

Thanks,
Croix

I just bought and installed one of the phenolic pistons a couple of weeks ago and it works perfectly. It stopped almost all of my front brake squeal. The guy that makes them is selling them on eBay, I think I payed $44 with shipping.

Do you have a seller name? I Would much rather prefer one of those.

What model do you own?  phenolic pistons are not available for some bikes.  I paid 75 for a piston for my 650C.

Unfortunately Kevin dosen't have my size. The 76 750f has a wider and longer piston. Its the same size as the later k models so I am going to try and find one that works for like a k7 or k8, anyone got any leads? I am getting a head ache trying to track down one of these little bastards.

Edit: Anyone know what year the K7 and K8 were produced, I know nothing about the K series.
