Brake job
Ok I have tried to find the info using search but no luck. I'm going to rebuild my MC and clean up the calipers flush all fluids and install new brake pads. Now I have read about cleaning the caliper pistons seems easy enough. Only thing that has me stumped is I have read about using a good brake lubricant. What are y'all referring to as far as lubricant? Thanks for the help

There are many brands of brake lubricant. Use it when you do a brake job to put on the back of the pads to reduce noise, put it on the pins, where the brake pads sit and slide in the caliper etc to keep everything from corroding or rusting and binding up. Basically it just keeps all the moving parts... well, moving.
Most auto stores carry the stuff to put on the pads to stop squeeling.
Spray silicone is good for lubing the pistons & seals
Disk brake grease is also good for all the pins & stuff... use lightly
A little anti seize for the caliper mounting bolts
