V11 rear brake pad change?

OTOH, all in place and working well, now.

I might get it ready in time to take it to Erie over Labor Day.

For a brief second, I thought you were contemplating a trip to Erin. You're welcome anytime.

 

Glad for your ultimate success, though I was kinda hoping that you would resort to the 'shoot it out' option.

Brilliant! Thanks @belfastguzzi and @Bill Hagan .

When in doubt, hit it with a hammer. Worked.

Now, if I can't get the copper cover plate that apparently fell off over the past two decades, I can use my other universal tool - duct tape.

well, this is an old thread... but @bzane are you in need of of the retaining plate for a rear caliper? I have a couple complete rear calipers and I am also in San Diego County. Let me know if you want to swing by Carlsbad and collect one.

Hi @scud, I just saw this. I ordered a plate from GP about a month ago. If it doesn't come in soon, I'll cancel and swing by.

In either event, let's go for a ride soon. I have never ridden with another V11 owner.

My Lemans is loving this cooler weather, has even stopped using oil! So I have rings/gaskets in reserve.

Oh, @Scud I'm in La Jolla. A nice meet point could be at the 15&78 and head north to Castle/Lilac/Couser and Palomar. I'm retired so weekdays are good. If you have a nice route from Carlsbad, I'm happy to try it.
