what 2 piston calipers are the common calipers to swap into?
The pistons on the stock brakes are pitted and the calipers need a rebuild, I'd prefer to spend the money instead to have more stopping power.
Search turns up nothing, but I have seen photos of bikes with swapped calipers so it seems someone has done this
brake caliper swap?
