Both master cylinders got new OEM piston kits (the front one was cracked 😳). The calipers got new OEM seals (no longer using those cheap aftermarket kits -- I had an aftermarket piston seal fail on my KX and I lost the rear brake on a track last summer 🙄). The front caliper got new pistons. Repainted everything original colors, and replated all the original hardware

marc abizeid on Instagram: "I rebuilt these forks as part of my #rm250 restoration using @racetechinc Gold Valves. The outer tubes were in rough shape. I stripped off the anodizing, removed the lugs, polished them and anodized them gold to match the rims. Don't they look brand new now? #suzuki #2stroke #dirtbike"
