Sounds good.It was only $3.50 for the one bit,so it if dies in a hurry it won't exactly break me :)
Here is what I have. These parts came with my 78K. I was gonna use them for a dual disc conversion on my Cafe,but the calipers dont match one another,so it was a no-go on that idea.
The pads look very useable,but that is up to you. No signs of fluid leakage on to them,scores or grooves.Lots of material left,though there is on very small chip on one puck.Hope it shows in the pic. IT IS STUCK at this point. I didn't have time to mess with it much. I did try a pry bar to push the piston back in to the bore with no success,but I did not want to risk hurting a good set of pads by forcing too awful much.
The pivot on the arm is nice and tight with no slop,which I hear can be a common source of 'clunks' with these brakes.
Rotor appears healthy and apparently never turned.Should be plenty of meat left for you to skim off there.
I dont know how much of a hurry you are in. If you like I can investigate this caliper better Saturday and see if it will free up,and what the piston looks like. Just let me know whatever you want to do!
