  • Sunday morning ramble

    Ahhhh, sometimes its nice to be single again. Besides having bike parts strewn around the house....Filet mignon and eggs for breakfast with an ice cold dos equis. Life is good, at least until later today.

    Im not one to be all stock on my 11. My old master cylinder went out, well it was getting yellow and leaking at the base. So like many others I bought a mikesxs one. Smaller and all black. Good should look better right? Then I saw this on here for sale by Bullet

    Crap....oh well someone else is gonna buy it I think. No one does and I keep going back and looking at it. After several hundred miles I kinda start missing my old master cylinder.....?.....go figure.

    So thank you fellow cheap 11 riders. Now I spent more money on my bike I didnt need to. And I cant wait till I get it to install it and put back something the way it should be even if I didnt think so before.

        Crap! See above quote. How big of difference is it? The way it sits or what?
