My '77 forks look the same. I had wondered the same thing until saw yours.

But it sure is pretty and looks to be the right vintage style that it should for an early '70's K2 unit.This bike was stripped back and mechanically restored before being fitted
with a new front end and exhaust system,

AlphaDogChoppers said:Using air to expel a caliper piston sucks. Not only can it shoot out like a high-speed projectile, often, it simply won't move at all. The ONLY way I do it is to have it connected to the brake line, and use the master cylinder to pressurize it and force the piston out. The master cylinder can produce at least ten times the pressure, but will do it without throwing the piston 30 feet across the room.
On a caliper with multiple pistons, after one starts moving, put a C clamp on it to restrain it so that you can get the other piston moveing. You want all pistons to come out together, because once one piston is out, there is no way to apply pressure to the other one.
