My bike…1974

[shinyribs]

Ooh nice! Youre gonna like those.I just swapped mine to braided and it was surprising how much it improved the feel of the breaks.(i had to).The smaller line does increase pressure with the trade off of increased lever effort,though. Are those -03 AN size? That is what I used.Still getting used to the new lever feel,but overall very pleased.

Ooh,that is nice! Her giving me the wagging finger is braking my heart.

[MarkPBG]

Yes! Fed-Ex just dropped off some more goodies from Cycle X. Emgo brake pads and shoes and all the cables. (throttle push-pull, speedo, tach, clutch) Hey, it's an OLD bike, these things should be replaced at least once every 30 years just to be sure it's safe!

[shinyribs]

You know, you're probably right. My whole life I have been of the attitude of ride it out and see just how long it will last. I had a water pump start seeping on a 72 C 10 once. Bought a replacement and drove around with it under the seat for nearly a year. It only went on then because it slung the the timing chain off. But being on two wheels lately has really changed my perspective on preventative maintenance.  

Anyways...new parts!!!  WOO HOO!!!

                        Got my shocks from cycle X today,must be 750s x-mas

[MarkPBG]

         AD.pic. fo  now                                                    Blk.

 They need help not a snug fit and need different washers to hold in rubbers (top)came with 3 diff.size washers,,,,,TO SML. bottom were bolts to swing need a fat washer also real sloppy,they will work fine but plan to get the 11" when in stk at "X"

                         chrome is for those that have to much tyme to polish
                               Lets ride when I'm done

Just saw this thread.... Mark we have the same bike, color etc... I am still in the never ending upgrade stage like you...I switched to the clubman bars as well.. It makes for a funner ride. This weekend's project is to switch out the tank that I re-furbished from Ebay. I am going to the black and chrome look. Picture below... I got a rebuild kit for the petcock as well. I live here in Miami. Palm Beach gardens I imagine that is in Palm Beach? I'll keep everyone posted on progress.

I like these, I may have to give them some business.  I'm enjoying this thread and learning alot.  Thanks for posting.

Tank looks good, Yes, PBG is in Palm Beach County up by West Palm Beach.

Perhaps one day we can meet half way and check out each others work...Ride safe.

I think I'm going to order the fork bearing kit and fork seals too, since the boots have to go on, might as well replace those too 'while i'm in there'. lol

Good news! I hope you DO get to ride.have fun,man.

[MarkPBG]

YOu have to order the bolts separately, but each bolt came with two washers, which is all I needed. They have the washers in bulk too for 39₵ each, but you can get 10mm crush washers at any auto parts store too.
