Re: Eddie Lawson Resto Mod
I just got my seat (PMC cover) done by the local Polish car set are-upholstery outfit. It wasn’t cheap ( these guys generally aren’t but they’re extremely good) it’s a great job and I got it back in a couple of days. Looks factory. I used the original foam they bluffed out the raggedy bits at the front the rest of it was ok.

Re: Eddie Lawson Resto Mod
Decided it was time to work on the brake calipers I had bought a few months ago. The rear looked poor but came with the mounting bracket at a sensible price. The plus point was that the brake pads were as close to new as possible, however the internals were not so inviting. The caliper was sold as taken off the sellers Hayabusa and working! Well the caliper did come apart eventually, but considerable force being required to remove the bolts holding the 2 halves together. It was amazing and shocking to find no dust seals fitted and the brake pistons damaged by previous heavy handed hammer action. A new set of seals and pistons have now been purchased.
EBAY AD!
Shabby Internals
Working on the rear caliper and wheel spacings. Caliper spacing sorted, wheel centralisation still a few mm out, looks like I'll need to do some work on the sprocket carrier to get things lined up.

Re: Eddie Lawson Resto Mod
The front calipers were a joy to work on, no corrosion to pistons, brake pads like new, just a full set of seals purchased for the refurb.
The front wheel & brake alignment has been completed also.
A new set of discs has been purchased also.

Re: Eddie Lawson Resto Mod
Time to get the hacksaw out and remove the left shock mount on the swingarm. A bit to care and effort and it came off almost unscathed. The rewelding of the bracket in a centralised position was undertaken by a very competent local bike builder.
Photos show the progress.
The rear brake caliper is finally refurbished and ready to be fitted.
