Well, it appears to be pretty well laid out to me. Simple, clean, effective... IMHO, that's what makes a good website.

[nance56]

It is a nice layout. I find the red a bit hard to read tho. Must be I'm just maturing.(LOL)

[cbmel]

The red lettering in the middle with the black surround came out very blurred. And that's with a 19" monitor and eyeballs with new lenses in them!

[Brake Pad]

Same here, the Red lettering with the arrows, Remove the black background, its blurry

and the Red letters at the bottom, set it for Georiga BOLD

Your trying to make a statement

 

other then that, cool site

[Guest Zachtcb]

other people also said the red gets blurry. Its probably not the eye site. lol.

Looking again... yes, the red lettering with the black shadowing is hard to look at.

 

Try IMPACT font with no shadowing. Or maybe some other font such as THIS or THIS or THIS

[Guest Zachtcb]

LOL I like th red lettering you picked out.

The red in the middle looks fine to me. The red at the bottom of the page is not good.

[Orrin]

Zach, you done real good!!!!

 

I think the site communicates the message and I had no trouble navigating around in it to find information I would want.

[CrazyHorse]

Looks good I agree the black on the outside of the red had to go it looks better now. Did you come up with the idea for the lifesaver? How did you come up with it?

[Guest Zachtcb]

I actually bought the company that owned the lifesaver. It has been around for about 3 yrs. The people that owned the company before me had bad marketing. A guy in texas invented this product about 9 yrs ago. It is much more simple than the old owners realized. I love the part. I wouldnt ride without it. I believe that this is gonna change the way brakes work as we know it. What made you interested in this part?

I'm always tinkering with stuff trying to improve on the original design and having good brakes on a bike is something I like. The 1st Gens (83-93 Ventures) in my opinioin leave alot to be desired in terms of braking and I mean alot I think the brakes are terrible. I like ABS brakes and hate linked brakes but with ABS your losing some stopping power. ( I'm not sure about BMW's latest ABS offering I hear its very good.) Your product seems a little different and I probably will try it. Of course now I have to rebuild the right side of my bike from a crash but I'm willing to try your product and see how it affects the terrible brakes on the 1st Gen.

1stGens terrible?? I thought mine did a great job of stopping. Maybe not the stopping power of a full blown ABS system, but they've never failed to keep me in control in any riding condition. I rebuilt the intire system on 83#1 about a year and a half ago, and it rocks!!

Compared to other bikes I 've ridden I m not impressed.

[Guest Zachtcb]

I dont think that a bike should have electonic ABS. I agree it can help you control the bike but you have no control after you exceed a point in the braking sequence. Thats why I liked this part and had such interest. Its hydraulic, and the simplicity it has. It also gives you all the control over your system Through the whole braking sequence. But I don't think a motorcycle is heavy enough to use ABS to its full potential.

OK, I'm willing to learn. Excluding ABS systems, what other cruising bikes on the market impress you more, and how??

[CrazyHorse]

Harleys Goldwings and K1200LT. I ride Roadking alot much better stopping and GW and BMW a couple of friends own and I've ridden. I think Yamaha could have done better. Small front rotors I use 2003 R6 front calipers with HH pads stock rear brake. Linked or unlinked I dont believe the stopping power of 1st Gen is that great. Maybe if I went to a bigger bore master cylinder on the front. Dont get me wrong I love the 1st Gen I really enjoy riding these but I guess I gotta live with the brakes.

[Guest Zachtcb]

DO you think it has to do with the weight of the bike for ABS to work properly?

I don't know maybe smarter minds then mine can answer that.

[Thom]

jim , what do think about steeling a 2nd front master cylinder , i have not looked at one real close , i know the bars are 1in. but can fix that . ????

Don't think weight has anything to do with it. It's like being a little bit pregnant. You either is or you ain't.. ABS either works, or it doesn't. It's function is to keep the brakes from locking up, and allows maximum traction between the tire and the road. Whether it's on a 300# rocket or an 800# cruiser. The 800# cruiser will have more traction due to weight and tire footprint, but that's strictly between the tire and the road..... not the ABS.

I have a set of 2ndGen clutch and front brake masters stashed away for the '87. Just liked the looks of them over the stock 1stGens....... Planned on shimming the 7/8ths bars.

Thom our bars are 7/8 at the handles and one inch where it connects to the risers.

Condor do you know the bore diameter in the 2nd Gen? Is it bigger than the 1st Gen? I know some guys used a Virago 750 master in place of the standard 1st Gen.
