2008 July 22: Brakes and polishing (2.50 hours)

• Rebuilt the front master cylinder with new seals, piston, spring, etc. I used the Brembo grease to coat the seals, pistons, etc.
• Polished the front master cylinder body and lever. The original finish looked bad. I used a wire wheel to remove the original finish and then gave the aluminum a quick polish.
• Removed some paint from the top and bottom triple trees, revealing the underlying aluminum. I plan to polish the aluminum up a bit. It should give the front end a bit of a lighter look.
