If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Same cable?....

$140 bucks on new K&Ns, but same cable...get out of here..... :lol:

just teasing...

I have a new in package, Motion Pro cable I'll send you, or you can pick up if you are up this way, if you want it, being I'm going Push/Pull throttle on the VMs. I'll never use it. It is for a 700E, pretty sure the ES is the same.

They are only like $10-$20.. thru Dennis Kirk.

Front master

Front master

Been trying all week to remove the screws from the lid of the front master cylinder without stripping them. Anyone have any suggestions other than buying a new one. :eek:

Use an easy out bit. They'll come out no problem, and since the screws are shot anyways, no big deal to buy four more.
 
Nice color on the calipers. Are they metallic? Kind of hard to tell in the pic.

Alright call me stupid..what is an easy out bit?
 
My rear brake cover had a badly hacked up screw. I cut a small slot in it with a dremel and removed it without damaging the cover. Just needed a new screw.:)

Chris

ps

An easy out is a reverse threaded taper. Drill a hole in the screw and insert the easy out. As it bites down it should loosen the screw.
My descriptions suck:D
 
Easyouts, or Grabits or whatever, are good for easy to get to, same metal type removal of screws, but good lord dont ever use them on anything that has been seriously torqued or corroded/rusted. They'll simply snap their heads off in whats left of the head of the bolt, and then you're really f-ed. I had some of the rear hubspline retainer bolts get sheared off when the spline gave out, and in an attempt to save the wheel, we tried those "Grabit" bits...drilled the head out, stuck the bit in, snapped it off flush instantly...lol. Worse off then when we started..

BTDT. I had it happen on a header bolt. I managed to chip the extractor out with a nail punch and drilled a hole through the bolt big enough to tap for the correct bolt.
 
Rear Caliper

Rear Caliper

Put the rear caliper back together this eve, not to flashy, I was unsure but I kinda like it. Polished up the hardware and banjos...

Put some valve grinding compound into the head of the screw before putting your screwdriver in. The compound will help the screwdriver "bite".
 
The caliper looks great like that Joe. We need to go riding when you get done.
