Condor Posted October 31, 2006 #1 Posted October 31, 2006 Here's a pic of the right saddle bag off '83#2. Great conversation piece. Never knew so much damage could be caused by a caliper overheating.. This is the only thing it could have been because the caliper is sitting right next to this area of the bag. Talk about smokin'.... The cover of the bag was in great shape so I replace the back with an extra I had with a funky cover. Looks great....now... :)

Condor Posted October 31, 2006 Author #3 Posted October 31, 2006 WOW............ Now that's hot........ Hows the rotor, it must be warped I think Steve and I found a soggy receipt in the trunk that refered to the rear caliper being replaced, but can't be absolutely sure.... How memory fails when you're over 20.... The one on there now is fine, and after bleeding the heck out of it, it works great.
BuddyRich Posted October 31, 2006 #4 Posted October 31, 2006 Hot Brakes have burned whole trucks to the ground, so a bike should go up fairly quickly. Check the rear end grease?

Yep...seen that happen. The rear end seems to be OK... not black or discolored or even making noises.. , but changing the lube is on the 2do list.
