Back in the garage

Image
Back in the garage After 8 months being bike free I am finally back in the garage getting some work done. During my time away I had subdued my need to play with motorcycles by buying bits for them. As a result I had a rather large collection of bits in my bags and waiting for me when I got home. Sharing garage time with the VFR800  I have started to dig through the long list of tasks I had set for these machines. Top of the list would be anything that was easy to do before the bike goes off  for respray and wouldn't need taking off again straight away for that task. Front brake master cylinder One item I had picked up in the states was a radial front brake master cylinder off of a late model CBR1000 fireblade. I would have loved to put some Brembo porn on here but as this was only $60 with everything bar the reservoir I couldn't really justify the extra. Plus the levers were a better match and the brake light switch is the same with the Nissin unit.
