Success!    What's next?

Had that very thought a little bit ago.  I realized it sucks having two bikes apart at the same time in the same garage.  Kind of takes the fun out of it even if it's raining to point of flood stage and beyond all across the area.

Ok, I'm expecting to have to change grips.  So at some time the ISOs will come out of the drawer and go back on the SEEG.  Then may take the SAC eagles that come off the SEEG and put them on the SERG.  Its OE grips show their age.

Still got to bleed the brakes on the SERG after rebuilding all the calipers.  Bleeding DOT5 can blow chunks and take centuries.  The EZPull clutch thing for the SERG didn't arrive today so that's all still apart awaiting parts. 

Guess that's it until such a time as I pull the fairing off the SERG.  Then it'll get a new reflector and the GDO xmitter installed.  I'm probably forgetting something.  But that's enough.

Don,
That walking may get better as the clutch breaks/wears in. I remember a long time ago a friend put a Barnett clutch on his rice rocket and complained of the same thing initially. If I remember correctly after a few burnouts and wheelies that went away.

If it does "self clearance" it wouldn't break my heart one little bit Gary.  If I didn't know for a fact that the pressure plate travel was about .015 short of spec for full release I might even hope and believe it might actually happen.  Pretty sure I'll need to give it a little more travel at the spoon though.

Those SAC grips are a very large OD compared to stockers.  Even larger than the ISO grips that many are likely to be more familiar with.  Also have a leather wrap braid on the spoons themselves.  Those things in combination are costing me a lot of lever travel.  Since I don't need very much more I think the smaller OD of the ISO grips compared to the SACs will get me home.

Huh?        not a clue....

[Fired00d]

Aww, you're no fun I was so looking forward to you doing burnout and wheelies on your bike.

I removed the clutch lever and placed about 0.018 brass shim under the pin on each side of the roller that acuated the cltuch plunger. Thus giving it more throw. Thus sending more fliud to master cylinder and it now has move free play.

Son of a bi.....  That hadn't occurred to me at all.

Not tonight.  But will definitely look at that.  Thanks Brad.

Headlight reflector and garage door opener transmitter.  The OE reflector was all flakey and no matter how much I blinked the ef'ing headlight at the garage door it just won't open the damned door.

[Twolanerider]

This'll be good.    Don, let me know if I need to bring my 36mm socket, breaker bar, TQ wrench, and BFW, so we can tighten your secondary drive belt when you're done with all those burnouts and wheelies at CHL.   

Oh gee Henry, my bike doesn't have the ooomph to lift a front wheel .

Can't do a wheelie pulling a trailer.  You'll drag your tongue !

That gives me a thought. Once you drop the trailer you could attach a wheelie bar to the hitch.

Yeah........and my bike hasn't busted 100 hp...........really.........!!

Ok, you jest; but.....

That would be easy to fab.  And a cruise-in show off kind of product that some dumbasses would be sure to buy.  Vertical receiver (so it's hidden normally) quick detachable sissy bar.  We could get freaking rich !

[Twolanerider]

Which one?

Dammit.  I actually had to think about that for a few seconds.  Then it was like, "oh yeah, I got two bikes now!"

Just curious, but if you rebult everything, why not get DOT4 rubber kits and switch to 4? I've never looked into it. Is there something other than rubber parts that eliminate that as a possibility?
