Hey guys my front brake caliper is leaking so I was wondering if anybody had one on here before I started looking at eBay.

 

Why is it leaking?

Unless it's been damaged you can just rebuild with new seals.

 

I can't seem to find a rebuild kit anywhere and the local Honda dealership is shady. If you can point me in the direction of a rebuild kit that would be awesome.

I think the seals dried up because the bike has been sitting so long. After messing with it and putting it back in its spot is now just drips.

 

There are loads on e-bay,

I couldn't find rebuild kits anywhere but ebay and they are starting at $35 while I can buy another caliper for $25. I was just hoping somebody had a known good caliper before I bought an entire unit off of ebay. I would rather take the risk on another caliper than have to spend the time rebuilding mine. I'm lazy that way.

 

Then you probably will end up with a $25 caliper that needs a $35 rebuild kit.

 

Probably very true.

 

Swapping the seals on a brake caliper is such an easy job I wouldn't call it a job at all. Just pull the piston, clean insides, change seals, reassemble, done.
