Like the look of the Projekt D ones, but am open to other brands.  Can't get the PD ones shipped over here, so if you have some unwanted/ second hand ones, please let me know.

How are you trying to rotate them?
I'd use a bolt and a couple of washers, then a locknut and tighten enough to grip.  Rotate the bolt with a decent socket and it should go round.  Squirt some brake cleaner in there as well

Yep, being doing that.  It's not moving.  Went to the plus gas after the brake spray didn't do anything.

1400GTR Discussion / Brake Bobbins
April 09, 2020, 03:40:37 PM
I have an on/ off grabbing sensation from the front brakes- not a pulsing, like you'd get with warped discs. The disc bobbins are seized solid.  I've been soaking them in plus gas for days and they still won't budge.  So... I was wondering if drilling them out and replacing them with some removable ones is the way to go?

Have any of you done this?  Any suggestions? 

Can you recommend what ones to get/ what size, etc? I'm hoping to avoid disc replacement at this time, as I have the suspension off and it's being uprated, so I'm a bit short on cash.

Keep safe, Nick.

Hey all.  Coming over from a ST1300.  Quite a different beast.  Will be looking to make the GTR mine, with mostly comfort mods.

Got mine less than a week ago.  So far loving it.

Regards, Nick.

Hi all

I'm getting my new GTR tomorrow (hopefully) and as I have midget arms, I expect to rapidly be purchasing risers.  My old bike's risers would flatten the bars off, as well as up and back.  What are the common options you folk take? Are cheepie eBay/ Chinese ones ok, or do I need to dig deeper into my wallet?

Wish me luck for tomorrow,

Nick.
