Since you only have one I would put it on the piston side of the caliper. On a dual piston caliper it probably doesn't matter. I have not been...
It goes behind the brake pad as a buffer between the metal of the pad back and the metal of the caliper. It keeps the brakes from squealing.
Yep, behind the wiz-bang facade of the Internet lies the same tired businesses run by the same tired people. The Internet changed nothing, only...
I spent a lot of time in the BMW camp. They have a reputation for reliability that was deserved back in the /2 days when their main competition...
I am with Randy on this one. I too look at the newly posted items and tend to miss which forum the post is from. When I read the original post I...
The Pope went on vacation for a few days to visit the rugged mountains of Alaska . He was driving along the campground when he heard a frantic...
It is getting hit by the unexpected gusts that is the killer. I would ride through a grove of trees and it was fine. Then, on the other side,...
Man I hear ya! Went riding on Sunday. The wind was gusting in the 40 mph range and it was not fun. I used to ride all over Oklahoma and I thought...
No, different people in different times. Starting spray story. Back when Jerry and I were road racing I would have the van packed and ready to go...

It is looking very good
That was a very good and funny rant. You can say the same about Texas. If the wind blows or the rains come it is reported as a disaster of...
A buddy of mine had a Canadian model RG 500 Gamma back in the 90s. He let me ride it and to this day I still want one. It was light as a feather...
Sometimes reading other people's posts opens doors of long locked rooms in my head and I remember stuff. Back in the late 70s I was living in a...

I dropped my Norton twice so far in 15 years of ownership. The first time was a real surprise. I was putting it on the center stand. It went up...
