A skunk in the works

[SVSooke]

Wish I could show pics of the new SS lines installed but as I went to fill then the calipers started dripping fluid.Off they came and once the pistons where blown out it seems I busted the new sealsNew one will be on the way soon from Boulevard.Ashely's back Tuesday so it will be a bit till I can get this done but I can tell you the lines look great.

[GateKeeper]

are the seals the same as on the 750, I have one brand new one, and all the old ones, of which are in good condition

YOU?! Sheesh. I've had mine for going on three years. Still, the body work and tank interior needs finished. So close, but yet so far away.

Keep going Greg! Looking great!

I had the same thing happen to me four years ago. I came home one day to find the best dog I ever had, lying dead on the living room floor. Four weeks later I found another golden puppy listed for sale in the local paper. Brought Him home one week later and has been the biggest pain that I have ever had in my life to raise.

He's now lying on my feet and adores me...

Your turn will come again one day, I guarantee it. Good things happen to those that are.

We got the kitten the next day and she is a great cat to.Was just a bit to soon I think but she is worth the problems.So much has happened so fast I'm taking a couple of needed mental health days.

Finally after a month of other things to do I got some Skunk time in today.



Actually got the caliper seals in last week but got busy with other stuff.Tried the syringe trick to get air out of the system.Worked a charm!


New head light hardware was not much $$ and saved me cobbling something up.

What is the story on the new looking brake lines?
Why are they so short? Just using some parts that you had around to test it?

[SVSooke]

Should have give the rear another inch or gone with 15 degree fittingsFronts just need better routing an some brackets.

[7981GS]

I don't have any pictures that I took specifically of brake lines but, perhaps these will help with the front. '79 and '78 1000E's...



And the rear, is supposed to run down along the swing arm like this '78...
