Very pretty.......I think im gonna do this job myself.... or at least try... I need spacers/master cylinder/adapters/and maybe rotors as well... AND TIPS... at least I got the ball rolling. I will update the thread as I go......View attachment 1585116
where do they sell the tool?You'll need a tool to bleed brakes with.
The old, fill the mc and pump the lever will never work.
You can use a big syringe(no needle)and hose connected to each caliper and push fluid up to the mc, then bleed/refill mc/pump lever as normal.
Once you're done, zip tie the lever to the bar and let it sit overnight, bleed again, and it's done. This gets All the air out of the lines.
Wrap the grip and lever in cardboard to protect them from the zip tie.
You going to put these on? Thought you wouldn’t touch this bike?where do they sell the tool?
frank is busy.... and I gotta do somethingYou going to put these on? Thought you wouldn’t touch this bike?
I have an air hawk to blow up my tires.. that little air compressor u see on tvYou definitely want to get a air bleeder, hopefully you have a small compressor to run. I think they are like $175ish but well worth the investment plus it makes maintenance a breeze. Start at the masters and work your way down.
This is the one I have.

$600 seems excessive for a MC. I think I paid less than $700 for two brembos, one for clutch and one for brakes. I still consider myself a below average rider, but I love these things and they feel amazing!I can buy a galespeed Billet master cylinder for 600.... not new.... good idea? off a race bike..... if not... what master cylinder... is it worth spending a lot here... mainly after brute force and initial bite
That will probably suffice, does it have any kind of tank or just a straight continuous duty compressor? As long as you can get 80-90 psi continuous I think you good.I have an air hawk to blow up my tires.. that little air compressor u see on tv
Hi ali. Just call Frank he can get anything you need. And he knows what works.$600 seems excessive for a MC. I think I paid less than $700 for two brembos, one for clutch and one for brakes. I still consider myself a below average rider, but I love these things and they feel amazing!
Wouldn’t it be better to upgrade to GENII forks and forget about adapters? Are the front wheels not compatible between first and second gen.?What pitch calipers did you order Ali , 108mm or 100mm ?
Just seen your post mention 108mm so all good . I have found a couple of adapters for 100mm fitment , nothing for 108mm as yet . Those brackets you found in the UK ? , could be good if good series billet aluminum .
Not a straight swapover I'm afraid . The Gen 2 fork will adapt with the Gen 2 triple clamps and front wheel , brake rotors , axle and fender . You can get everything at fairly good prices in great condition 2nd hand from the US if you look around .Wouldn’t it be better to upgrade to GENII forks and forget about adapters?
