Post mortem

A quick tear down and it looks as though it was a stuck piston on the right side caliper, played hell getting two out.

Mea culpa, I should have rebuilt the calipers even though they were low mile take-offs. 

New rotors, new pads, and caliper rebuild kits all ordered from good ol' eBay for a rebuild session this next weekend. I'll have to put on some shakedown miles next week to make sure it's ready to go out to Nashville in two weeks.



I have also started the project to apply tank badges. I say project because I already have an hour invested in trying to get them exactly perfect side to side, front to back, along with flattening them as they were meant to go on a 2016 model with the bigger tank that is more round. Measure 15 times, apply once....




Quick Update 5:05pm:
Ordered the new rotors on Saturday, thanks eBay seller for letting me know TODAY that you don't have them in stock and won't until the 11th!    Really?!?!?  I even called the manufacturer and they don't have them, that doesn't change the fact that eBay had them listed for sale and they knew they didn't have them. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR
