lol, yes you could just about describe it like that. Although its not a screwdriver its a socket driver with a 1/4" drive in the handle. Very useful Metrinch tool, circa 1993

A new addition to this project! I was able to salvage enough piston seals to resurrect one of the calipers that came with my RC30. What better use for it than on a supermoto...

I had to shim the disc out so the caliper would clear the spokes. And to remove the caliper I have to pull the pads... small price to pay.
A 320mm full-floating disc and 4-piston caliper should give much better brake feel and power. I am SOOOO looking forward to the next day at Cressons 1.3

That quote reminds me of the time a toolmaker friend and I rebuilt the engine in my Ninja 900. There weren't many left though. And only a very slight secondary vibration that wasn't there originally.

I can laugh about it now.
