i bought some mini calipers for my glh from the jy and wanted to know if i should hone the caliper cylinders (i know not to touch the mc).

on another note, should i rebuild the mc? the fluid looked nasty, but i'm low on funds, and i still need to buy pads.

No need to hone the caliper bores, the caliper piston rides on the rubber seal.

As for the M/C, I honestly wouldn't touch it, just buy a new one, there so cheap these days. Is your life worth $60?

i traded it out for a fresh one. i'm gonna pull the rotors apart in a minute, if they are pitted i'll hone it.

the caliper bores, but they didn't need it. i didn't touch the mc, don't worry...
