Checking over the rear brake as I was putting it back together and I looked to me like the PO had substituted a different kind of bolt on the caliper torque arm. I am not engineer but even I understand that this bolt is going to be subject to a significant amount of shear under full braking. Would you trust a regular bolt from a hardware store? No neither would I. So I stole the bolt from my other GS1100 project and bought a new one to put on that one.
The one on the right is more likely to hold - don't you think?
