I found and purchased (2) new Tour Max Mitsubishi fuel pumps for a ZX Ninja and made the modifications that Joe Nelson suggests. It worked out...
Did you ever get any brake squeal on the bikes you eliminated the caps/pads from?
My 86 is coming along nicely. Tank is clean and ready. Carbs were completely disassembled, gone through and rebuilt. I also went with new #40...
Coming along nicely, Bazz
I used new pistons from Brake Crafters. I didn't see any caps on them. The old pistons still have the caps. I didn't think they came off the old...
Front brake master disassembly and reassembly. The outer piston seal was leaking but the internal seals still looked good. Snap ring journal had...
I spun them around and used EBC pads. I've never seen a caliper that had pistons that way. Thanks for the insight. Now I know why they were like...
Thanks Cap. I used the red grease that the BC kits supply. Suff works really well. I did wipe a bit of DOT 4 in the barrels
Thanks Baz. Everything looked really good and came apart nicely. I also use FSM, YouTube, and rely heavily on Joe's tutorials. The project has...

I didn't see the one you posted but this one is currently at $3k. https://ebay.us/m/GGaZWY
Looks like the 5530 is sold out throughout the usual parts outlets as well. After searching again this morning, I did find and purchase one of two...
I had the same thought as well. I think the stock fittings are 10mm. I'm wondering if the flow is the same?
I just looked closer at the K&L 5528 and saw the spigot. So that's not going to work. It looks like all K&L 5529's are on backorder and the Tour...
I checked out the fuel pump replacement article Joe Nelson posted on his webpage last March. Great idea and that was the route I was going to go....
I agree. This old pump has served its purpose. I don't want to have a pump failure on the road., so I'm going to buy a K&L and make some...
Thanks for the advice SM. I'm going to examine the original pump a little closer and check the flow amount. If it appears to be functioning...
