What I noticed is that it's a slightly tighter fit.  The caliper takes a bit more persuasion to get it from the rotor and wheel.  I found that out when I had to change the tires.

Was as easy as the front (a breeze) with no issues

I was thinking of my tgb r50x.  The caliper on that one had so little room to move away from the rotor and wheel that it caused a mild fuss.
Just realized my mix up after coming outside this morning.

I figure it had to be another scooter because I see you do your own work on your machines and It must be a breeze for you to change your brakes also ;D

Lol,  I can't say that simple things don't sometimes get the best of me.  I actually work for Continental,  building brake calipers for Ford,  bmw,  Volvo,  vw,  fiat,  Mercedes,  Subaru,  GM, and others.  I tell operators to get to work,  order piece parts,  and work on machines and robots if they go down. 
So brakes should be my thing.
I'm that guy in the parking lot looking through the rims of people's cars trying to see how the brakes we built are holding up. [emoji1]
