Re: ceramic coating my headers

Just had a place called NitroPlate in Tennessee do mine. They did an excellent job and the total was $107.00

I've also had them done by Jet-Hot. The NitroPlate was as good or better than the Jet-Hot. Included doing the inside of the header pipes.

Re: Caliper Rebuild kits Tokico for Rockster

I received Honda part #45103-MEL-003 Today.
RING, SEAL Joint - 6.5 X 11.5 X 2.2 (SEAL BETWEEN Tokico CALIPER HALVES)

I can confirm that these are the correct O Ring seals between the caliper halves.
They were 96 cents each from Partzilla.com

Hopefully, it doesn't need any work. If it does, and you are not mechanically inclined, be prepared to pay a dealer big time.

Re: caliper rebuild kit (Rockster w/Tokico calipers)

It appears that the front TOKICO calipers are:

Small Piston 32mm
Large Piston 36mm
The 32mm is the dust seal.
The 36mm is the pressure seal.

Now...Try and find 'em.

Contact board member Riceburner. He's got more experience with our brake calipers than anyone else.

Re: For the people up north

Jacksonville is lucky when it comes weather. In 20 years living here we had one "alert" that proved to be false (hurricane Floyd for those that follow history). I spent my spring break in PA about 15 years ago (long story, the one with the girl) and after scrapping the ice of the windshie...

Re: For the people up north

I lived in Sebastian for 12 Years. I remember preparing every summer week for a potential hurricane...that sent me packing back north.
After having 2 roofs blown off and countless broken windows and other damage...FL proved to be not what it's all cracked up to be - at least from my point of view.
