I hate brakes.

BOTH front calipers are leaking. Guess new pistons are the only way to fix it. On order. I HATE brakes! At least the rear piston came in a day early and I was able to get the rear brakes working, but not until after having brake fluid leaking out of the new master and finding that the hole for the screw that holds the plastic inlet adapter in was drilled ~2mm off - causing the o-ring to have no compression on one side. Whittled out the hole on that side and the rear brake system seems to be in good shape, now.

Also connected airbox and throttle/choke cables (why didn't I do that first? I thought about it but didn't do it!) Compression tested and right around 150 across all four now.
