Just wondering..

Picturehttp://i43.tinypic.com/9uu73c.jpgOn my zx6r when i serviced the brakes today i noticed on the rear caliper, there is a round plastic thing that sits inside the piston [outside touching the back of the pad]. But on the front pistons they're hollowed out and the pad just sits on the rim of the piston.I was just intrigued as to why that is and what the purpose of this plastic thing on the rear caliper isThanks

Indicator issues

I just recently replaced my panels on my bike and had to change the indicators from one panel to the other. They now are having issues. I can operate the rhs indicator but not the left. This is also greeted by a buzzing on the rhs operation and a perm on position for the Lhs. Please help a new rider! Would prefer to learn how to do it myself than get someone else to fix it!

Powder Coating wheels

I've just had the front wheel of my blackbird powder coated. When I tried to bolt on the disks, the threads stripped. I was using a torque wrench and they stripped at 10NM, the recommended torque is 20NM. As the wheel was goosed, I tried all 12 and they all stripped at or below 10NM. I've bought a second hand replacement wheel but don't want to repeat the process until  know the cause. Any ideas?

Restriction help?

I dont know too much about engine performance. I'm looking to buy a 600(ish) bike to last me two years, but heard that restrictor kit's can cause certain engines to perform badly, even degrade. When looking to buy, is there anything I should completely avoid if im wanting to restrict to 47hp?  Thanks for reading.  :DP.S - Sorry if im spouting total rubbish
