    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.

Sounds like a plan Billy, its been almost 90 days since the crash, I am so ready to fire this thing up!!
That long already, it seems like it was just a month ago. I guess for you it seems like ages.
 
Tore down the right front caliper, looked pretty good no pitting at all on the piston or the cylinder. Just cleaned them up real good, greased the pins and put them back on. Leaving them black.

You guys say a weekend and I'll try and get up there to ride as well. My sister has been harping on me to come up and visit so I'll do that and bring the bike.

Will do. There's someone from here in San Antonio that wanted to meet up with us too. Just have to remember who it was.
 
Front master cylinder

Front master cylinder

I decided to scrap the original front master and replace it with one I had from a 94 GSXR 1100. The GSXR is tapered for clip-ons so it sits perfectly on the ES . The only issue I see is trying to mesh the 94 brake light connector with the 85. Solder maybe? Any ideas?

below are the two connectors...

An easy fix for the brake light switch is to cut the original es connection off & solder on 2 new spade connectors........ problem solved :)

gotcha ...kinda figured that was the only option..THX
 
Joe,

You can get a hydraulic brake light switch (replaces the banjo bolt) and forget about the cheesy OEM setup. I got one of these on eBay for under $23 shipped. Dennis Kirk has them also. They come with male bullet connectors that plug right in to the stock wiring.

Good call on the brake line Joe, great solution

Any time Joe! The eBay seller I linked was very good and I had the switch in a few days. Just be sure to get the correct size and pitch. I believe the one I linked is correct but you might want to check since you have a different master cylinder:

10mm dia x 1.00mm thread pitch.
Washers Included
20" wire length with terminals.

Thanks,
Joe
