Brembo Socks

Post by sweatmark »

Finding humor in everyday life:

1. Bought a set of R1150** front brake calipers - the Brembo version - as recommended by James (riceburner) recently... thought my Rockster would eventually benefit from the upgrade, for long-term ownership and "oilhead is the new airhead" philosophy. Received the eBay purchase promptly, and LOL'd when I discovered that the calipers had been (thoughtfully) covered with a pair of used and unwashed sweat socks.

2. For my S1000R I found a set of squid-approved brake reservoir socks, in the best Boy Racer spirit. Please note the suggested alternate application for these items...
