im always disappointed with the pads/calipers of the f3.
i know they are much better than the f2, but cleaning and re-padding was a pain in the *** compared to other bikes.
im thinking of upgrading the calipers to a liter bikes or something 01+ just because they are easier.

 

are the calipers bolt on conversions? or are rotors and adapters required also?

 

Someone pointed this out on another thread I'd posted elsewhere - seems I've been sent the wrong pads. I might bail on the HH idea and just stick with OEM for now anyway.

 

While I'm here, got another update for everyone.

I feel the need to add some ***** to the thread, albeit in the wrong way.



New chain and sprockets



...which were desperately needed



Cush rubbers are all cracked and perished



I expect getting the bearings out will be a mission



Swingarm off so I can de-rust and paint



..cos it's ming



Painted with hammerite and fitted

 

dang. All of what your doing with the rear is next on my "to-do" list. im just waiting for the chain im going to get to be restocked at d2moto. once i get it on order, ill be ripping the entire rear off in the same fashion. To change out the coolant overflow, chain/sprockets, clean/paint EVERYTHING that comes out, etc. etc. etc.
