A friend reported that the rear brake on his K100 had siezed on - hard, after a fall. So he sourced a pair of brake pads and we started in.

is what his brake pads looked like. One pad was worn down to the backing plate and beyond!
Further investigation revealed that on piston in the caliper was siezed solid, (my thought was that maybe the seal had melted owing to the excess heat??), and the master cylinder was also locked solid. Dunno why that should be?
Anyone else have any horror pictures to share?
