Re: brake rattle & squeak... fixed, I think
... stainless disc bolts from the internet ...
I would steer clear of these (unless absolutely sure).. the previous owner had put some in and while they looked alright it was PITA getting them out.. like cheese and even with heat just stripped... I got a Dremel onto them to square the heads off ...

Re: brake rattle & squeak... fixed, I think
thanks for the reply!
yeah, i was thinking about looking at OE pads...
What you see in my first pix is not really a spring, it's an L shaped locking clip thing that can rotate slightly with the locator pin (11).

Re: brake rattle & squeak... fixed, I think
UPDATE>>>
It still rattles
pretty sure it's the pads - npping one with pliers and moving it backwards and forwards i reckon its THE sound.
I'm looking carefully at pics of different ones and notice some have springy things by the pin hole...
any one have springs on their Brembos or care to chip ...

brake rattle & squeak... fixed, I think
I've managed to (hopefully) put and end to the brake rattle I had coming from the front of my R1100s.
On both sides, the pads had zero copper slip :(
one of the locating pins between the inner and outer pad was solid and needed real force to knock it out - it didn't have it's little retaining clip ...

Re: WTD - R11S indicator pods
I just got a pair of these from Motorworks, new ones not 2nd hand as they didn't have any.
I hope they take a looooooooong time to go brittle...
