Flip..Agreed that emzedder should put some pictures up...I've sent a request.

Jerry.. Flip is correct about the floater..It was also an option and kit for SS models, and standard on the SL (I think).

Nottsbiker, Darren..Yes so true, it's all too easy to ignore the rear brake and take it for granted..I've had my wake up call and I would urge all owners to just take the trouble to drop the calliper off every now and then give everything a really good clean and check over.
Dealers can be guilty of not paying enough attention to the rear brake too.
I lost a pad from my first Monster as a result of the pin not being passed through the hole... It had been dealer serviced by the PO prior to my buying it.

The rear brake has actually been the most troublesome thing on my Monster so far.
I had it lock up due to fluid expansion on my very first ride out on it..I had adjusted out too much free play at the lever...I run it with about 3mm free play now.
I later had to change the disc due it warping..and now this.!
