Hey All! It's been a while!
I was just able to finish my R6 fork conversion but one of the 2 of the caliper was not coming off (the bolts were siezed). I literally tried everything, in the end, I even tried drilling a hole straight through them, no dice. I ordered a used caliper from ebay and figured since i have to change/drain the brake lines, i'd install the HEL SS. Well i got everything put together, finally, and im bleeding the brakes but they feel superr stiff. I've not ridden in awhile since the bike has been in this process for a few weeks but i don't remember the brakes being this hard. Also, in terms of the front banjo leading from MC to caliper, i have the banjo thats at a slight angle attached to the MC and the line at the caliper attached furthest out from the caliper (i opted for over the mud gaurd style). Anyone else have this issue or feedback? i still need to take my tire back off to grease the axle and am waiting on the pinch bolts to come in. Thanks!!
