Have you tried to reduce the vibrations at source? I could do 400 mile days on Scottish country roads on my Y2K 800. 1. Balance the throttle bodies. 2. Check tyre / wheel balance front and rear. 3. Check chain & sprockets condition and chain tension. At the hands end how about thicker gloves? OK you will lose some sensitivity but numb hands don't have any! A left field suggestion - are you getting good blood flow to the hands? Check clothing at armpit/elbow/wrist is not restricting. PS You have an R missing from your avatar self-description.

Answer:- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/391143722465?adgroupid=13585920426&hlpht=true&hlpv=2&rlsatarget=pla-131843269746&adtype=pla&ff3=1&lpid=122&poi=&ul_noapp=true&limghlpsr=true&googleloc=1007330&device=c&chn=ps&campaignid=207297426&crdt=0&ff12=67&ff11=ICEP3.0.0-L&ff14=122&viphx=1&ops=true&ff13=80 That's in the UK. I'm sure there will be a US version. There is a specific tool that is like a reverse pair of pliers - it fits inside the recess of a piston and expands to grip the inside. Twist the piston back and forth to remove it. Alternatively use a good pair of pliers (with wide smooth jaw tips, not narrow pump pliers) to grip the very edge of the piston - one jaw inside, one outside - and twist. Dress any damage before reinsertion.

I suggest your step 21 is wrong. Copper grease and most other greases make rubber expand and the sliding pins operate inside a rubber tube (the boots replaced in step 18). Expansion of the rubber will jam the sliding action and reduce the caliper's effectiveness. Use red rubber grease on the sliding pins instead. This was my 750FR. I never replaced the boots in five years and 40,000 miles of Scottish weather, commuting 10 months of the year.
