Brake lines bled. It was not as bad as I expected having read a few horror stories but it does take a bit of patience to get completely empty...
The new spacer is good, there is now enough clearance between the right rotor and caliper bracket. Pressure tested the cooling system and found...
Note to self: measure every non-OEM part before installation. My new front brake discs are 0,5mm thicker than original and as a result the...
Swing arm stuff assembly today. Nothing much to write about really. Bearings were good so they were only cleaned and repacked with grease. New...
Thanks for the link, that would do the job. I need a more local source though, cheapest shipping option from there is $103.61 :eek:
Good to hear. I went for the AS3 stainless clamps since the originals were partly in so poor condition. They are a bit wider but no problem...
Slow but steady progress. Water pump and new hoses installed. Next up would be a pressure test (I don't want to put it all together just to find...
Finally! The shift star kit arrived and I got it installed. There's a chance I'll have time to start putting other things together too in the near...
The old ones were definitely hardened and not very flexible at all. With a bike 20 years old, even if the fluids have been changed regularly which...
Thanks. No, it's not finished yet. I'm still waiting for some parts since the global situation has slowed things down quite a bit. I will be...
Back home and making some small progress. Got some rubber on the wheels and the front now has bearings, dust seals and new brake discs with Ti...
Cleaning the mating surfaces and threads actually ended up being easier than I feared. A sharp tool and some patience was required but the mating...
Yep. I also gave instructions with images and all with this result. Well, it was cheap and the quality is otherwise decent so I guess I got what I...
Finally got the parts back from the paint shop. The wheels were powder coated jet black and the exhaust headers were done with heat resistant...
Thanks! Let's see how it goes when I get into brake bleeding. Many threads about mods and stuff go silent when people get their answers and never...
Still waiting for the shift star kit to arrive and the paint shop to finish my wheels and exhaust, but I did get something done in the meantime. I...
I don't have a huge amount of experience on different sets or brands but I can recommend Metzeler Sportec M7 RR's. Even though they are in the...
Well I thought since all the lines are completely empty that it'd be faster to first fill the lines that way. I've never filled a completely empty...
Yes you may, the thermostat has actually already been changed before installing the new coolant hoses. SpeedBleeders are waiting on my desk. I...
The wheels have now been sent to be refinished and I also got a far better offer for the exhaust than previously so I sent it along too. Wheels...
