OK, what the FUHK????? done this?
I can't believe this ****.... I was out riding today for like 10 minutes, practicing no-throttle-handers and...
I brought back to slow it down, THEN: I felt a "POP!!!" in the rear brake then I was scraping(I didn't have my wheelie bar on ) I hit the brakes a few times and nothing so jump off the ****er running behind it pull in clutch and park it. I set it down and look at it, I had snapped the ****ing Caliper bracket that mounts to the Support bar to swingarm(GSXR1000). the caliper had rotated all the way around the rotor and also snapped the brake line!!!! WTF!
This blows. Now I need a caliper and lines, not to mention the tail i had just re-painted!!!
Anybody heard of this **** before? Daaaaamn, I have the worst luck!!!

I snapped right here and the peice that broke off is still bolted into the support arm. then the caliper rotated all the way around the rotor and popped the line... I've check it out again and everything's mounted correct, it just broke. Maybe the heat cycles weakened it and then it cracked under heavy braking? I dunno fuhk it...

hmm..i've been hearing about a lot of rear brake problems on gixxers. them over heating and boiling over or fading or whatever you call it.....i've never had that problem yet so i don't know....maybe it's the brake fluid.
