BE SURE NOT TO GET BRAKE FLUID ON ANYTHING!! It'll fuck your paint/wheels up even if contact is only a few seconds.
That's not bad then. I guess just a zip tie on the fork tube and one down near the caliper would be enough.

And yeah, I know about brake fluid. I'm going to pull all the fairings and wheels and everything anyways and do lots of things together...

I don't but I should... I'll do it when I do my big overhaul sometime before the track in 5 weeks...

You shouldn't do that with brake cleaner, right? I imagine it could damage the piston seals... maybe pull the pads and use some emory paper on those bad boys?
