Brake job done

Road Bike
0800 and I'm done! First I want to thank all who acted as my coach. I took a little bit from all and a job well done. About 1 and 1/2 hours inc putting stuff away and all that stuff. I removed the calipers as that seemed easier for me, I found corrosion were the  left front caliper mounts to the bike, both places which I cleaned up and put a light coating of grease on that area,I greased all the mounting areas. The rear pads had anti squeal pads and a thin stainless retainer on the back side of each pad. I used EBC pads FA254 on the rear and FA417/4HH on the front, $98.00 from my local MC parts store. When he was a kaw. dealer I purchased many bikes from him and now I buy all my stuff there. Support your local store! I think most people could do this job.
