Always a benefit when you release a video just as I sit down to lunch. I enjoyed this as always. I wish you lived closer, I'd be happy to unleash my Honda parts on you. Thanks for hanging the plate on your wall and allowing me to claim a spot on your lathe Del, I'm honored. It will make me happy to know that plate is in good company. Nice hat too. I'm personally loving the WIHA tools since i'm doing so many miniatures lately. Stay well my friend. Ride safe and keep the painted side up.

The honor is all mine Joe, You plate is more than a souvenir for the wall, it's a mark of friendship and regard, and that means so much. Have a great weekend Sir and keep safe too.

I just found out something that some of your viewers might find useful. I recently installed Speed Bleeders on my 2000 Harley Springer. I wanted to reverse bleed the front brakes and purchased the syringe from Amazon. When I tried to do the reverse bleed procedure, the fluid would not go in and I broke the handle on the syringe. I then realized that Speed Bleeders have a one-way check valve (ball bearing) that only allows air and fluid to flow in one direction. So the bottom line is that Speed Bleeders cannot be used to reversed bleed as they will only allow fluid to flow out, but not in. I went back to the old bleeders.

While the corroded paint on the master cylinder could very well have been from brake fluid spillage (brake fluid will strip paint like it's cool), I still have strong suspicions that this bike spent time in the river Thames (or maybe the sea). lol Regardless, this has thus far been an excellent and enjoyable project to watch progress. 👍

Always envious of your paint finishes. The only paint I've ever got to stick like grim death to a bike part, has been whatever the accidental overspray managed to find, lol. Love the small container in the solvent tank idea! No noise, no splashing, brilliant.

Slow and steady, she's gettin' there, Del! I don't know about you, but laying down some matte black paint is just extra satisfying. Flat paint is all dry spray, gloss has too little build per coat, but that semi-gloss... it sure lays down nice. Easier to see it flash off, as well.

i would have never tried this task before watching the ZX7 street fighter build. Armed with the confidence that it isn't as hard as it looks and that with some degree of patience, reference material (shop manual) and some basic hand tools I think people might be surprised what they can do themselves. Quick question, with the clip ons you're adding would a sport bike master cylinder have given some more bite from the front?

@Moonfleet41 2 жыл бұрын

Hi buddy, thanks for your very kind comments! This is exactly the same front braking system as on the early 1200's, various models only had one disc, but as you may have noticed, it's actually a dead beefy 4 pot front caliper and this is the master cylinder that's matched to it... the bike won't be gaining any more weight, quite the opposite in fact, and simply having lower bars makes no tangible difference to the braking requirements, so I'm sticking with the beautiful, genuine H-D master cylinder that, once it's all fully restored, will match perfectly in with the bike! I just don't think that turning the bike into a 'bitsa' with various random components from here and there and other bikes, doesn't eventually make for a very nice motorcycle, I believe it can actually make them look a bit sketchy unless the components involved are the top drawer stuff such as Ohlins etc., and I simply don't have the budget for that!

Usual smooth professional job. Strangely satisfying. As an aside- how’s this for serendipity? Couple of weeks back I watched your Brake Callipers-part 1 episode; and I actually made a comment about your Brake piston removal process. Just today I replaced all front brake hoses on my Suzuki Waterbottle ( almost at the end of a 2 year restoration) and I thought why not check the callipers to see why it’s so difficult to push around. Frozen R/H piston! And crystallised brake fluid. And a brake pad absolutely jammed and immovable in the calliper. Testament to the idiot who owned this bike previously. Easily removed by using your method. Amazing.

A passing thought regarding paint and critical clamping components. I'm not trying to criticize, just passing along a thought! Yamaha had a recall for the FZ-09 lineup of bikes a while back because some handlebar components' clamping surfaces had been factory powder coated/painted. Allegedly, after time and vibration, the coating would break down and crumble underneath the torqued fasteners and surfaces, and things would become loose. In the case of my bike, the bar riser clamps were affected. Mega problem if that comes loose while riding. Did this ever happen in the wild, or was Yamaha just being proactive? I do not know. Anyway thanks for the content, I really do enjoy watching you work and appreciate the knowledge shared. ✌🏼
