    Harbor freight brake bleeder

    Years ago I swapped the the fork legs side to side on my 74 GT 750 to reduce swinging inertia forward of the triple yoke centerline.Putting the calipers closer to the triples centerline makes swinging the bars back and forth easier. But I couldn't get the air out of the calipers. After a while I...

    Harbor freight brake bleeder

    Anyone use this unit? I'm trying it on a Cavalcade front caliper set and just cant seem to get all the air out. Run a bunch of fluid through it and lever better but not what it should be.

    towing a trailer

    The one I was looking at was an Alpine pop up made for a car. Looked small enough till I looked up shipping weight. The motorcycle only one don't come around too often for cheap so I may be on hold for a bit.

    towing a trailer

    Yep, manufactures weight is 730 plus my gear and a battery.I'm not getting a new one cause they are too much money and I have a 38 ft MH for that kind of duty. But that would put the gross weight at ~ 1600.eek Really want a small one that is less than 300# but they want a fortune for them.

    I'm looking at a tent trailer to tow cross country and back that weighs 800 and will tow with my 86 Cavalcade. Too heavy? IDK. Never done it. Any rule of thumb for touring bikes towing?

    Cylinder Head Won't Budge

    Years ago a guy wrote into Popular hot rodding mag about trouble getting a SBC head off and finally went with a 5 foot bar in the intake port which finally popped it loose.

    Cavalcade brakes

    After going back and forth with D2 moto who sent me the wrong brake pads I decided to keep them cause they were the right ones for my GS. So,onto EBC pads for the Cavalcade.

    81 gs 250 t

    I'm not learning to wrench or ride and anyone who follows my posts knows how many bikes Iv'e brought back to life. If this was a bigger GS I would have it now. The end selling price after its brought back to running condition would be my interest. But there are a lot of cheap GS 500s around here...
