broken bleeder

[TopCatGr58]

Hey Mark,

To get you by, the 1 to 2 junction down on the forks is bolted in place, you may be able to remove that bolt and allow the lower lines slack to feed the upper one to get you closer. You might need to use some zip ties to secure the hoses so that they don't otherwise rub on parts of the forks you don't want them to!?

BTW, the banjo is a 10x 1.25 as per the PNM web site description for that universal MC!!

Update:
I got the new M/C installed and the new S/S brake line on. I've got brakes! I haven't road tested it yet, but the handle is somewhat firm. I am concerned about the brakes dragging though because the front wheel seems hard to spin. I'll take it for a road test tomorrow and see how hot the rotors get. Is it typical for increased resistance when you replace the pads?
Putting that new line on really got me jonesing to replace all of them! I'm trying my damndest to resist.

Mark, where did you source the SS brake line?

[mastan]

Marty: I got it from Dennis Kirk. I checked out the source you suggested, but found it easier just to order the one line from them. They are goodrige lines, and what I really like about them is that I can upgrade the rest of the system without breaking any banjo bolt seals. Once you seal the system, the lines are all connected with a tapered line, so I can upgrade as my finances allow(you probably know better than most what my financial shape is in about now!).

Pathfinder:
Thanks for the link. I took my first ride today and found that the left side rotor is heating up a little more than I like. Tomorrow I will take off the front wheel and reinstall following your suggestions. Otherwise, its a huge improvement over what I had last year. In summary: I just kept throwing money at it until I got it right! Still cheaper than $65 an hour.

Your welcome, but you don't have to remove the wheel. just loosen everything up and get the weight off the front tire to be able to move everything around.
