I'll be hiding eggs for the little ones. Thats my plan. I'm sure I'll make them eeeasy to find so we can wrap it up and then I'm off on the bike

It's like any other weekend where I work, just the one day off. Sunday. :(

Anyone who is off, Have fun, and RIDE!

Only 2 days off while everyone I work with gets 3. I hate contract work.

And I haven't yet found a gasket that'll work with my brakes. Vintagecb750 hasn't replied yet to my e-mail so I don't know when the front brake will be back together. Starting to frustrate me. I should just buy a used front caliper off a known '81 cb750k and use my rebuild kit on it.

Arghhh. I wanna ride!

They offered to return my money, but I wouldn't feel right keeping the stuff AND getting my money back. So instead, I'm just hoping that I can find a good caliper that this set will fit in.

It's an amazing thing, I know. Sad, really, that I'm at 26 one of the most honest of my generation.

I pointed 'em to my thread on here, and they said they checked it out but are completely stumped as to what's causing my issue. It's listed in a few places that the caliper is supposed to be 38mm, but mine is 42.8mm. So that's what my issue is, guarantee it. It's not a vintagecb750.com issue. It's a previous owner surprise.

So now I am on a mission to find out what I've got, or to obtain a correct caliper for a decent price.

I am doing about 10 loads of wash while my wife is at work today. Then around noon I am taking my carbs off and beginning the cleaning and rebuilding, may take a ride Saturday too. I don't have to come up for air until Sunday morning when we make a 3 hour car ride to Penn State, State College, Pa to see my son. that's an all day thing no riding or wrenching this Sunday.
