Description
Stainless Steel Brake Caliper Pistons
These Brakemasters™ stainless steel brake caliper pistons for the Yamaha V-STAR 1100 MIDNIGHT CUSTOM are designed to replace the original pistons in the rear brake caliper on the Yamaha V-STAR 1100 MIDNIGHT CUSTOM 2009.
Original brake caliper pistons are typically chrome plated steel and can corrode over time, especially on motorcycles used in wet conditions or stored for long periods. Corroded pistons damage seals, cause pistons to stick, and lead to uneven pad wear or brake drag.
Stainless steel brake caliper pistons eliminate corrosion problems and provide a long-term solution when rebuilding brake calipers.
Brakemasters™ pistons are British-made and precision ground, ensuring smooth piston movement, correct seal performance, and long service life.
All Brakemasters™ stainless steel pistons come with a lifetime corrosion guarantee, so you can rebuild your brake calipers with confidence.
Brakemasters™ pistons are used in our own workshop and supplied to professional mechanics and motorcycle owners worldwide.

Why choose stainless steel brake caliper pistons?
Stainless steel brake caliper pistons offer several advantages over original plated pistons:
- Do not corrode or pit
- Prevent damage to brake seals
- Improve piston movement
- Reduce brake drag
- Increase brake reliability
- Ideal for full brake caliper rebuilds
When rebuilding brake calipers, replacing corroded pistons is often essential. Fitting new seals alone will not fix problems caused by damaged pistons.
