Re: WAS fume'ing (now more of a flaming thread...)

Guessing here and the guess is based on dead engines running petrol and two stroke racing bikes. That piston bears all the earmarks of a ring failure. the short bits bounced up and down eroding away at the lands until finally breaking through. As the ring turned around, bits broke off went up on ...

Re: Rear Disk Brake conversion on cruiser

can you take the rotor and caliper off your diff without removing brake line? If so rotate so bleed nipple is at the top, with the rotor still fitted into the caliper then bleed and refit. A bit of a rangi idea but would get rid of your air bubble. Bleed nipples must be at the top to remove air as ...

Re: Rear Disk Brake conversion on cruiser

[ Or is it possible to do some other fancy bleeding technique?? (pressure etc?) not sure if it would work but unbolt them and slide the caliper round till the nipple is up then bleed them and put them back. would be a bit of a hassel with the handbrake attached and might be a bit hard cracking the ...

Re: Rear Disk Brake conversion on cruiser

If bleed nipple is not at the highest point you will have air in your calipers. Looking at your photos it looks like you could swap calipers from left side to right and that would put nipples at the top, not sure how this would affect your hand brake set up though. Or can you rotate your bracket ...
