  1. Yeow !
  2. As long as they weren't swapped out .
  3. Ohlins or Marzocchi design #1 or design #2 ?
  4. Now , when I get back in town , I'm gonna have to disassemble these calipers and apply brake assy. lube and reinstall . I spent all day kickin' this around . On the brite side , I'm getting good at this !
  5. Transition period ? That's funny . M/G is a transition period .
  6. If it matters , what are you using as a gasket when you reinstall ? What caused the damage anyway ?
  7. I'm glad you did as well as you did . Keep us posted on any needed parts .
  8. I have two bottles of Raybestos brake assy. fluid and didn't think about it until I turned out the lights …….. As far as torque procedures , my philosophy "it's tight enough for me". I have a 3/8'' click type , a 1/2" click type , a 1/2" dial type , a 1/2" digital type and a 3/4" click type . All Snap-On . The only time I use them is when I do something I think is critical . I would have torqued the head gasket on my air compressor when I reassembled it , but I couldn't get the torque wrench back there to reach it ! Being a bit lazy & anxious did not help my cause !
  9. Found the pads . EBC . Got it back together / bled with a lot of "rigging" , Phoenix bleeder and DOT 4 . I cleaned up the pins / stuff , then used cold galvanize spray on them . I forgot to use brake assembly lube …..Mmmm. I don't like aging . I used to remember EVERYTHING and knew where EVERYTHING was , so I didn't try to organize . You wanted a 3/8'' SAE nut . No problem , I would dig you one out of a pan somewhere . Now , where did I put that FUC#ING brake caliper ? Then , where did I put the FUC#ING brake pads ? And so it goes !
  10. IF he's referring to caliper to mount bolts , they are 8mm . I removed mine to flush the fluid . To whom it may concern ; drop the caliper and inspect the pads and all the doodads under the plastic cover . I just took mine out flushing brake fluid and caliper clean-up to find ugly worn-out pads and pins . What brand pads do you recommend ? I thought I has some rear pads in stock , but I can't find them .
  11. I did find torque specs on fasteners . I also found conversion formulas .\ To go ft. lb. to N.M. ; multiply ft.lb X 1.35 = N.M. 100ft.lb. = 135 N.M. To go N.M. to ft.lb ; multiply N..m x 0.74 = ft.lb. 100 N..M. = 74 ft.lb. I hope this is right ?
  12. You should see a Jetta diesel with a pipe this tall out the back . It was easy to spot in the parking lot !
  13. ThanX . I can't find my chart . and I'm doing a caliper flush & refill . I removed the calipers , R&R all pistons and cleaned them . UGH . This brake fluid smelled awful after sitting 25 yrs . I'm going to have to do this to everything !!!!!!! I'm using DOT 4 fluid too .
  14. I would assume around 45 ft lbs . ( I can't find a chart , but I think this is a 10mm bolt ? IDK how to convert to newton/meters.
  15. You CAN post more than one pic ..... How much did the mod cost ?
  16. Don't be too sad , certain Ducatis , when the sidestand breaks off , the engine case is destroyed . Leaving you with a very beautiful red bike that will cost twice it's value to repair .
  17. That's a Full House on the + terminal !
  18. That sounds like a PROMISE ?
  19. Your angle drive has been removed ? I didn't see that !
  20. I would get a GOOD tubing bender and see what I could do .
  21. A buddy of mine is a rep for them & I was just making conversation . The price .... not cheap . We all are looking for any angle for MORE anything .
  22. Gettin' back to Leon Russell ...... He was out there !
  23. I had no idea you could sell broken parts for this much $$$$ ?
  24. I got a custom throttle cable from Barnett's a few months ago . All they need is a little discussion , application and your old cable . Give 'em a try !
