How big a dope am I ???

[Maddevill]

Ok folks,
I'm reinstalling my front calipers on my 1983 GS750E. What a completely miserable experience. I'm convinced I must be
doing something wrong. I had to remove the mount arm part to get the pads into their slots and, of course, they refused
to stay there.
Please enlighten me. I eventually got them on but I don't remember ever having this much trouble.

Welp, I'm an even bigger dope than I suspected. I went on Bikecliffs page and he has the entire procedure laid out with
pictures. I'm going to take things back apart and make sure everything is assembled correctly.

Don't beat yourself up about it. It's a bridge everyone has to cross. No exceptions

How big a dope? We haven't met you, so will have to guess. 6 foot? 6 foot 1?

[Maddevill]

Actually I'm a 6'3" dope. I took everything apart and it was good. Wayyyyyyy easier using the proper method.
I'm hoping to graduate from "Dope" status to "Moron" soon.

After you've done it twice you go from "Dope" straight to "Expert". When the next "Dope" asks that caliper question you'll be here for them with your "Expert" advice.....

Every time I do something to KaiZen I learn something new -
Therefore it is all knowledge acquisition -- nothing about being a dope - just something I didn't know before
