Time to sort out the calipers..

Had them apart, all pistons removed, cleaned and inspected, no damage or pitting, so after a polish and the fitting of new seals, happy to get them back in, nice new stainless bolts, and a paint, all looking very good..

Now, bleeding these is notorious for being a pain, so started the job on the bench, filled the caliper first, then connect the hoses, and bleed away.. 

It worked pretty well, and after a few pumps bubbles coming up the tube, pleased with that, got some good pressure on the lever pretty quickly, so all in all well worth suffering the cold...

Once the handle bar is sorted, it can all go back on, and the front end is done! 

Looking all nice clean.. the brake pad pins cleaned up with a little scotch bright.

All bled and ready for the new pads and fitting back on the bike, once the bar is sorted....

It was a rather cold couple of hours in the garage, but well worth the effort, and very pleased that its coming together again.
