little late hint to the piston´s ;-) but I think it's of interest ;-)
the 99 has coatless steel pistons
the following busa´s (i think later than ´02) calippers
have same sized pistons, but those are made of aluminium and have furthermore a (teflon?)coating
their color is light anthracite
my experiance :
1st these "grey" pistons are gliding a bit better than the steel pistons
2nd the tocico calippers, their piston, and their rubber gaskets should be cleaned every 18-20,000 miles to keep the brakes in good condition
my 2nd experiance :
the hand force you need increases the later you clean the calippers and at least the stoppers only serve to maneuver and park the bike but never brake properly !
