900ss Rear Hanger And Caliper Refurb

  1. What can I do with the rear hanger and caliper on my SS ?

    Even after degreasing the hanger, and cleaning everything up with brake cleaner, it's still 'minging' on the surface. I don't know what to do with it.

    Can the hanger be polished? Should it be polished? But then I'd have to polish the whole swingarm to match, I would think. Not sure the photos illustrate the problem well enough.

    What's the trick to bringing the caliper up like new? Just loads of brake cleaner and persistence?

    Also, can the caliper bolts be replace with stainless versions? Is that wise?

  2. ProBolt have made a business out of aftermarket replacement bolts. Some of it out of me having bought replacement front caliper bolts for all my bikes :upyeah: If it were me, I’d probably polish or get the hanger coated in one of these ceramic finishes and repaint the caliper. Andy
