Wanted - 1981 Special Brake Piston

[xs650newb]

I need a brake piston for a 1981 XS650 SH. I went to rebuild my calipers + MC and my piston is heavily corroded so it needs to be replaced.

One of mine was the same way. I just filled the holes with jbweld and sanded the piston down smooth with scotchbrite pad. I know it sounds cheap and unsafe, but I have been riding it for over a month now and no leaks yet... I figured I have a rear brake if it fails, and its free so why not give it a shot.

Why not just buy a new one from Mike's XS ? $26.50 + shipping.
