Yeah.....a baaaad mamma jamma... :)
Happy Sunday everyone! :) [ATTACH]
Gorgeous, Capt! These RWB bikes......sublime! :)
Hello all.... I made a little progress on the brake calipers. They are clean enough now to proceed with the re-assembly. I mentioned earlier...
Will take it please, Joe. If you could set it aside for me and let me know when you want to ship. No urgency here. I've had a couple that sat...
Ha ha - that's funny. OK, I just set up my Sonic and am going for it! Excited because I love my little Sonic and would MUCH rather let it do all...
OK thanks - I have been using Simple Green and that's probably OK for a lot of stuff but for painted calipers....your technique I'm sure would be...
Thanks, Rogue....I have one but don't want to mess up the gold patina on the calipers. I use it for carbs though, for sure. And some other stuff....
Those pistons did not budge for me. Alas was just using air from a pancake portable compressor. I will give them more soaking and then take them...
Air takes a distant second place to hydraulic fluid - mostly because air can compress but hydraulic fluid doesn't. Capt 80's has a nice set up...
That.......plus Joe's V4 Dreams website - in particular his "Maintenance" page - and go to: #23 • Brake Caliper Disassembly and #2 • Rear Caliper...
You should be able to move the pistons in and out with a little gentle pressure. If you can't, your problem may be with your seals or pistons...
Nothing I can't handle......;)
3 months later I decided to get this one going, starting with the front brakes. Should only be the new battery and maybe/probably carb work after...
One of the best shows ever! :) [MEDIA]
Interesting......thanks, Joe! That blue color really does stand out in a cool kinda way though.....:)
Thanks for the clarification, Joe! This is what came with my '86 RWB VFR750.......so am guessing it's the correct "purple" ("Luster Blue") for...
OK thanks - shows what I know! I thought it came with a Gray seat. Maybe that was for the '87's (?)
Project 41 looks fantastic, Joe! The blue seat is not something you usually see on the White bikes, but it does look different in a very cool way!
Ha - I have all kinds of repair materials incl. a plastic welder but nothing beats having one that was never broken so can't hurt to ask, right?
