    It has been done, Go to the search bar at the top of the page and type it in. I believe that you will have to change the front master cylinder to get good pressure as you would then be running 2 calipers.

    Must be a lot of folks looking at it as it can't bring it up for me the pic below it says it all though

    Glad it wasn't worse, Metzler better get their act together. If people catch on to all the problems with those tires and someone dies.....can you say Lawsuit

    Judd, Lee is correct it is a linked brake system, the front lever is only for the right front caliper. The rear brake petal controls the left front and the rear calipers. Buckeye performance makes SS brake lines for the 1st gens, and it is an excellent upgrade. he's one of our vendors here in the vedors section. There are lots of threads on cleaning and maintenance of the brake systems on the 1st gen. The rear reservior and master cylinder can become choked full of old fluid that starts to gel inside it and really makes a mess of the brakes. if you havenm't changed and cleaned the brake fluid out...it would be time for that. If you run into trouble just ask questions, PM me if you like or give a call, my # is in my profile....we'll get you rolling again.

    Very well said Froggie I know I hate it when I cant get to one of our rallys, but it's great that folks are willing to take the time and headaches to make them happen. I too have to pick and choose, I have a bit more vacation time...but it's never enough. Money is the biggest issue with us, you have to be smart with it, and thats not always easy Thank you to all our members that take time out of their lives so that others can come to a different locale and share time and friendship....oh and Ice Cream

    We can always count on your Navigator/Mechanic George Love the pics of you and Rider Duke in the "Water Bottle" fight, you look like a Ninja in the one as you were attacking. I'm shedding a tear that we couldn't be there to see that.

    I haven't seen them yet Yammer, but I'll find them soon! Mini, So glad that your rally went well, nothing like the feeling of succsess that comes with hosting one of them. I wish that we could have been there with you all....but I haven't won that damn lottery yet....so off to work I'll go. Looking forward to seeing pics of it

    All depends on what you want to spend, I bought these off JC whitney and they are a nice set of pegs for a reasonable price. http://www.jcwhitney.com/CUSTOM-MOUNT-ELLIPTICAL-RAIL-FOOT-PEGS/GP_2002576_N_111+10211+600014710_10111.jcw The Kuryakyn are nice pegs too, but are almost 3 times the price. Call me cheap, but that is 75 more dollars in my bikes gas tank and still having a nice set of pegs
  18. Squidley
    Craig I too am glad that your telling us the story. I wont even start a rant right now, but I do hope that you get everything you deserve in getting the bike fixed.
  19. Squidley
    Glad to hear you made it home without incident Kenny, it was great to see you again and I'm glad to hear that Muffin tinkered with the bike. I knew it would be a good bike for someone who had some time to tinker with it. And I will say this right here and now, that will be the LAST 1st gen I will own to ride, the rest of the ones I get will be parted out or fixed and sold. Yeah boys....2nd gens RULE!

  22. Squidley
    I actually thought when I first saw them that it looked like Wil-E-Coyote before he was hit in the face with an anvil. You know when there eyes get all big like oh *%$#! But that said they are different and different is good

    Actually it was way more ominous than that, there was a bomb threat on the Blue Water Bridge. That Helo was scouring the area as the Sheriff dept had divers in the water looking for explosives. It was like a scene out of CSI, we could really be screwed if someone did in fact take one or both of the bridges out. You can't imagine the traffic that uses that bridge every day
  24. Squidley
    That is a good price if it doesn't need a lot of work and is in good shape. I'm sure someone will chime in here and want more info, thanks for thinking of us

    Steve, You hit the very pulse of what this place is about. It started as a technical forum 4 odd years ago, but has grown into the largest Venture site on the web. I couldn't agree with you more, this is a family, a somewhat disfuntional one at time but one none the less. You have been fortunate enough to meet up with the southern crew, they are one of the most active regions and are excellent people to be around. RandyA is one of the best folks here. He is a good friend of mine and represents what this family is all about. I can say that there have only been a handful of folks that I didn't care for here. Everybody else has been super and I would have them in my house, matter of fact 2 of them are here now. Enjoy the site and always remember to ask questions when you have them....glad to see you enjoyed your first rally
