    front brake caliper bolt

    Hi all, quick question...

    Was out for a ride on sunday, just happened to look at the front right handside brake caliper, looks like the bolt on the top is missing!!

    Could some kind soul take a pic of theirs and post it so I can see what it looks like, maybe I'm mistaken but want to be sure!

    Thanks very much

    Here is a photo of my (once owned) Vara front calliper



    Does that help?

    Thats superb, thanks Boris. I was wrong, at the top of the caliper it looks like there should be a bolt, but yours has the same!

    Thankyou very much once again

    It does it automatically. Try posting your own picture and see.
    3 Africa Twins/280,000 miles. If it's happened to one of mine, it's gonna happen to one of yours.....eventually.

    1 Varadero/17,000 miles ridden (of 40,000 miles on the bike), it's all still new to me!
