    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Doing a bobber build for a customer, so my chopper is on hold.
Need to know what this part is called, is there an aftermarket equivalent and can I get a kit to rebuild this one.
 
Can't upload pic. The hydraulic arm the rear fluid resavouir feeds into. Would this be the rear master cylinder?
 
Wow, just simply WOW. :-\\\

There is no "hydraulic arm", but your description leads me to believe that you are asking about the rear master cylinder.

Yes, rebuild kits are available, the overwhelming favorite for VERY important parts like BRAKES is to buy genuine Suzuki parts.



* The "WOW" comes from reading a question from a "mechanic" that is "building" two custom bikes, but doesn't know what a master cylinder is? :oops:

I will only add that I am very happy you are not working on my bike, then leave you alone. :o

Working 3 jobs and going on 2 days no sleep makes ya say stupid ****. Lol

What's truly stupid is building a bobber for money, or selling one for that matter. The bikes functionality will be drastically affected for the negative, and if the new owner crashes it, they can blame it on YOU.

It's one thing to mod a bike for your own use, but as soon as you let it get out of your hands, you are responsible thereafter.
 
I see a lecture coming....... oh wait it is already here.



Come to the gSR, ask for some advice and well use the opportunity to berate and lecture you:(

Anyone dumb enough to buy a bobber made by someone who doesn't even know how a brake works likely isn't smart enough to sue anyone anyway.

What ever it is , it is OT or should be relegated to a "discussion" area. I certainly see little technical content in The barating.

Damn straight! We call a spade a spade, whether you like it (or asked for it) or not. :cool:


One of my other hobbies is bicycling, and I've built a number of road frames for my personal use. There is a nice web community of framebuilders, and the more experienced guys expound constantly on the necessity of insurance and business incorporation before allowing one of your frames to reach beyond your personal use. There are stories about customers suing for all kinds of stupid reasons, and best case you lose a bunch of money hiring a lawyer to defend you in court.

Drastic chassis modifications, aka bobbing, puts the riders safety at risk. This isn't even debatable. So again, feel free to ride your own bobber, at your own risk, but making one for money, where you have liability for the product, is just plain dumb.

Gee Ed, I wonder when the last time the OP beat his wife after having a 6 pack of doughnuts? Anything else? Maybe he kicked a dog on the way to GSR?
