modified goldwing caliper..Watcha think?
« on: January 16, 2011, 09:51:46 AM »
I got to thinking about the calipers on the GW forks I'm using on the cafe and thought to grind off the fins and polish everything. Heres the result. At my own risk, I'll ask what ya think? The forks ruin it overall, but picture them on polished lowers. Stever

Looks damn good, just make sure to run Dot-4 fluid cause it will likely get a little warmer than it would have before.

Great polish job . Are you going to move the bleeder to the upper hole?
