BRAKE CRAFTERS

[Twofeather]

Is Brake Crafters the best place to get a rebuild kit and pads or is there some place better. I bought a rebuild kit for the back brakes last year and one piston in the kit was wrong. I don't really want to repeat the mistake. So, I'm looking for another place to get a rebuild kits. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I buy the oem kit from one of the suppliers.

        IF the pistons are NOT damaged clean them up and reuse them. O rings from Honda O E M. You will be surprised what you can accomplish with brakleen and rags-NOT paper towels. And should you need a piston or 2 Honda O E M. It's yer BRAKES! Do NOT skimp here!  RIDE SAFE. O E M pads too!

Generally speaking, if it's OEM I use OEM parts to repair/rebuild. If aftermarket, I'll use aftermarket parts.  Not a hard and fast rule but applies the majority of the time. An exception would be wheel bearings and some o-rings.

The bike has A lot of miles on it. When I did the back brakes, the pistons were in pretty bad shape so, I think I should just on ahead and replace them while I'm there.
I've had the bike for just a little over a year now and I've put on about 7,000 miles.
I've done two oil changes, rebuilt back caliper and pads, rebuilt carbs, new front tier, rebuilt both forks, and now I'm fixing to rebuild both front calipers. The bike has almost 100,000 miles on it. Is there something else I should be looking at to fix or rebuild?
