So,finally had enough of 1983(same brake used on 50cc Suzuki Gamma,Kawa AR 50 !!!!!) tech rear KAK Brakes plus high wear rate of pads(uneven) due to lots of useage-The caliper locating pins and housing wear rapidly due to dust,dirt,water etc.,even though I keep them greased and clean).
Single Piston Caliper has been moved onto being good for fishing sinker!
Got stock of TWINPOT  new shape rear caliper!!!!!Munch More Mussle and longer pads for longer lasting wear.
Probably around R900(including new TOP RANGE PADS) for this conversion,gonna pay for itself real soon due to less pad changes and.......THE REAL IMPROVEMENT .....better,stronger Back Brakes
