  1. That is some of the best work I have ever seen .
  2. Are these gears steel , aluminum or what ?
  3. I use Motorcraft electrical grease on electrical connectors . Amen on the dielectric grease and it's misunderstood purpose .
  4. You do understand you will need the ABS system with electronic system , wring and everything else to go ?
  5. A #2 pencil eraser is good preparation .... Believe it or not acetone is a good contact cleaner . I watched a YouTube video where this guy was cleaning the contacts inside Fluke meters to stop ghosting and poor display . I fixed two this way . saved lot$ and they still work .
  6. I took my 2nd 5 yr. ride yesterday . Pushed $hit out of the way for 1 hr , a shot of air in the rear tire and grunt , click click click . 15 mins on the charger and the first cylinder to TDC it fired up . Got some gear on and left . After 20 mi. I met a buddy at the end of my road. He needed four 3/4'' flat washers . Then I got a text informing me the side boom rotary mower I had been working on was not functioning properly . Freedom while it lasted !
  7. When people ask for help , it should be a requirement they post a fix or a close with a help[ request .
  8. Go to the Alpina website . There is a section you can custom build . If you do not see what you want , contact them .
  9. rossopuro marketed them , alpina built them . Have you contacted alpina ?
  10. The difference is the thread "machined quality". Plus the fact they are about 4-5 Xs the cost . AN are military and probably aircraft use only . These other fittings with paired O-rings, I'm not sure, will take a few minutes to find. HTH I remember Ford used this setup on their A/C garter spring fittings .
  11. I thought it was silk thread / Hylomar ?
  12. Hmmmm . Have you applied Hylomar to the gaskets ?
  13. Google and don't be limited to choice(s) . If I had it to do again , I would get Marvic . If I could do this w/o getting caught , I might get them anyway ........
  14. Will do ASAP
  15. FWIW . AN ( Army / Navy ) and JIC ( Joint Industry Council ) fittings are / appear the same . The AN fittings are made to tighter tolerances . They are both 37ยบ fittings . Google for more info ! It's time for me to go to work .....
  16. I have one from a 2003 .IDK about the width . Will it work ?
  17. The washer on the Banjo bolt appears to be a Dowty washer . This should have one on each side of the banjo fitting . The o-rings on the other fitting may / may not have a MG part # . Go to a store that sells hydraulic fittings . e.g. Parker , Gates , etc . and ask them for help . Make sure they know this is metric stuff. HTH
  18. Wooooooooo !
  19. Is yours below or above the triple tree ?
  20. I have Alpinas on mine ......Expensive..... Worth every cent .
  21. Spoke wheels......as in factory (OEM) wheels ?
  22. Joe K stuff .....GOOD !
  23. Do you owm a DVOM and are familiar with how to use it ? The tps is a simple potentiometer . 3 terminals . one is v ref , one is gnd and one is signal return . With the ignition OFF , probe two of the tps wires and check for resistance . If you get a reading , rotate the throttle from idle to full throttle . If there is no change , move one of the leads to the other terminal and repeat . There should be a change in resistance . This reading will be smooth with no glitches . If this checks out , the TPS is good . If you need to Google potentiometer for a good understanding I thought I posted this this morning but my router wasn't working correctly
  24. Do you know how to test the TPS on / off the bike ?
  25. Before you replace a component , TEST it .
