I was planning on replacing the pads on my cbr900rr-r however I will take out the pistons to clean them etc however for new seals on eBay they are £5 odd per pot for the seal and dust cover thought that was a bit steep is there a cheaper site or isthere a generic et I can get?

Yet ask yourself, are the brakes something you want to cut costs on? In life you generally get what you pay for.

I mention this as have stories of generic parts failing, seals weep and put brake fluid where it shouldn't be. I cannot recall an instance of original kit causing an issue (but then that's only my experience).

Sorry, doesn't answer your query though, just some late night thoughts.

Hope you get it sorted Thumbs Up
