durk Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 Rode the Concours for 540 miles today. Today was the first day I haven’t had something going on since my last day of work on the 10th. Rode some different roads. Much needed getaway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevysoldier Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 So my windshield was pretty scratched up and wouldn't polish out. So I tinted it to see how it works out. If that doesn't work, might try some of the VHT taillight tint spray paint. Better than paying for a new windshield. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie14 Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 I've had enough with some of the frustrations with Sena. I have a pair of Cardo Pack Talk Bolds on order. I hope that we like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been thinking about it for a while. I tried to pair an extra SMH10 to my 30k, but I was unsuccessful. After 15 minutes of listening to the 2 headsets chiming, I ordered the Cardos.

We are in the process of selling our house, buying another house (Gonna be able to work on bikes again with my new garage), and I start a new job 2nd week of July. Life has been busy and I'm itching to get back on two wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likwid Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 I really want to hurry up and sell our house and buy a new one with a 3 car garage. I'm getting sick of moving my wife's car everytime I want to go riding. And yes, I realize I could park my own car in the driveway but.....

JustinNck1 Posted June 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 My current driveway is barely wide enough to get one car around another, I just drop my wheels off in the yard.

durk Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 Changed the rear tire and washed it in preparation for Monday’s departure. I hope the new rear tire makes it through the whole trip. I already told Tory we may need to slow our pace a bit. Monday can’t get here fast enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mello dude Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 Trying to bench prime/bleed a fresh rebuild of front brake master cylinder, it doesnt wanna go.... stubborn as hell. Any suggested tricks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSerfozo Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 Can you force fluid backwards? If the calipers are attached, push the pistons in like you're changing to new pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(what's that?) - My bench setup is just the MC, a short brake line, and a spare CBR rear caliper in a vise. I just prefer to get fluid moving and confirm the rebuild is good before installing on the bike.... I still hate working with any brake fluid and bleeding.... sometimes its 10 minutes and its good to go, other times its screw with for an hour or more, and not get anywhere.

MSerfozo Posted July 4, 2021 Report Share Posted July 4, 2021 6 hours ago, mello dude said: I saw you posted you wrecked.... so the frame is toast? Curious as to your plans. My red Bandit is OK. It was just a 25mph lowside. Bar end and shifter replaced, rash on the tail section covered with a sticker, and the engine lower side cover will wear the scar for a while. Taking it to the dragon, etc. in a week. The silver bike in the pic was an opportunity I couldn't pass up. It was crashed bad but had a lot of really nice parts for me to salvage. That's where I got the Brembo monoblocks and masters. Today, I plan to swap shocks to put the Racetech built Hayabusa shock in my bike. The engine has 11:1 1216cc pistons, a "Gary Dye" head, and a Barnett GSXR clutch. It'll go in my Bandit over the winter. The forks and frame are totalled. I hope to disassemble the forks to salvage the Racetech valves and springs but I'll probably need a bandsaw because they are so bent. After I scrap the frame, I'll get my half of the garage back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
