Re: Late Wed work
Changing brake lines?

Re: Late Wed work
Seeing if a Honda CBR400 NC23 petrol tank looks better on the floor or on a bike?
|
Re: Late Wed work
Yep the NC23 tank on the floor the abandoned project bike. :-x
Changing brake lines is right. Except the Donkey's gave me the wrong thread banjo bolt for the master cylinder. So I had to re-thread their bolt to suit... :smt013 |
Re: Late Wed work
Re thread their bolt? Is that really a good idea?
|
Re: Late Wed work
Yes it's dodgy to rethread a bolt but I knew it was either going into the bin and wait for a bolt to be sent out.
So I took the dies at it. It was tough to rethread but I got there slowly. Out of about 12 threads it lost half of one. And after through cleaning, thread filing and ultrasonic bath cleaning I installed the bolt. It should be ok all it needs to do is squish the copper washers so there's no leak. Which i why i left it overnight with pressure on the lever and some paper to see if there's any leaks. |

Re: Late Wed work
No performance parts. Just a standard grey import with no plastics.

Re: Late Wed work
Just back from a very cold winter run. I could even see my breath inside my visor! Thank the lord for proper windproof bike gear.
It's all good. Beforehand I was very annoyed at the 2 stage brake lever i had. To go into detail. I would pull the lever a little the brake you could tell engaged a little. Then you just kept pulling more and more, all the time the rate of deceleration was the same... Then suddenly the brakes bite like a shark... It really doesn't help when the forks are so soft on the SV having a non progressive brake makes them go up and down faster than a thai hooker. :D But now.... Feels like a normal brake. Next stage see what sort of springs are in those forks and change the fork oil. P.S. Gratius to the Admin who deleted my double post. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-l...8/DSC_0020.jpg https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-H...8/DSC_0028.jpg |
