caliper of — at Twin Motorcycles Buell Support forever.

 

looks like a layer is also on the wheels — at Twin Motorcycles Buell Support forever.

 

 

anyway rusted disk of

 

 

off course some springs are corroded tight

 

 

if they don't break you can pul theme out,

 

 

if they break ( these are brittle ) smal tq key and turn the key so the spring becomes smaller and pull it out

 

 

clean the holese some , and some high temp grease on the new springs , the ones we sell are stainless, but the inside of the holes can need some protection

 

 

loctite and tighen to 35 NM

 

 

new tyre on and balance

 

 

old pad are not gone.. only corroded

 

 

not smart to use these

 

the grips are also worn and funcky

these rizoma grips are very nice ( personal opinion ) and they come close to the old traction grips shape )

the funcky grip... the one time i feel the need to use latex gloves

better :-)

belt and front pully change

as the old front puully is worn out

costmetic cover of

the teeth have worn sharp.. belts do not have a long life with sharp pulleys

as noted on the belt ,

swingarm brace out

new front pully

new belt on now first the swing arm brace back in

little bolt cleaning is needed

mnnn ok cover douse not fit fully

the pully is 90 mm , so need to take a hair of the cover

skimmed on the late a little

and covers mounted

old battery replacement

new battery in

dyno loop wire is in a problem place

if this sits below the wire loom on the battery tray the rubbing can cause this to short out.. popping fuses or coil in a bad case

but no power.. mnnn my co worker cut the tracker box out.. looks like it was a little more than tracker only

as there is no battery power on board

the feed to the fuse box is cut

opening up the wire harness to repair

using solder with crimpseals , these work very good
