The kits are easy to use. I takes about an hour from the time the MC is off the bike until you are ready to put it back on. Ok...and just how long does it take to get the MC off and back on??? And what has to come off to let me get to the MC to take it off? LOL....Like I said, L-I-M-I-T-E-D...

Dan, I was about to make the same post (looking for a rear master cylinder)...But apparently, I'll have no luck. For someone with LIMITED mechanical knowledge, how hard is it to rebuild with a kit? I've actually been toying with the idea of selling my 83 1100 and moving up to a 1500 (gotta...

Now THIS is a biker bar. . . LOL (Saw this picture on another social networking site and had to share it...I'd love to find out exactly where this is if anyone happens to know).

Once again, this forum has come through with just the information I was looking for....Started looking for some new rubber because I'm going to be working on the road a lot this summer and plan to use the bike as much as I can. Heard about the Shinko tires and wanted to do some research, but...

Oops...Sorry. :sensored: I was only on my first cup of coffee when I wrote that. . .It should have been "I'VE got" :doh:

I've seen the owner's manual say what the anti-dive numbers mean (1-Light; 2-Medium; 3-Hard; 4-Maximum) but I don't understand it all that well. I've tried all four settings, but seem to get the exact same results...Perhaps I'm not setting it with the proper procedure... Here's what happens...

I can't offer opinion on L.E.D. vs conventional, but I'll got a couple of general tips for ya. 1) - The easiest location to find for the group of wires you'll need to tap into are under the seat. You'll see the wires for tail, stop, left/right turn & ground. You'll need a 5-post connector (one...

Just tossing this out there. . .Here in the northeast (US), the temperature swings so much, it's hard to decide what to use. (An old joke: Don't like the weather in New England? Wait a minute.) I've used 15W40 since I've had my 83 Interstate.

I purchased a taller windshield for my 83 1100I (used) and I can definitely appreciate the much reduced noise when I have my visor up on the full face helmet. However, one drawback I wasn't aware of (and almost not ready for) was how the friggin things acts like a sail with any strong...

I realize this is an older thread, but I find myself (once again) looking for opinions/advice... I recently purchased an L.E.D. voltmeter that goes into the 12V cigarette type plug. I have that particular plug always 'hot' so I can see what's going on even when the bike is off. Typically, I...

Thanks, Dan...That was going to be my next question. LOL And the one after that was going to be why I might hear a faint scraping sound (from the front) if I ease up slightly on the pedal...Is that just a pad dragging?

If I 'pump' the pedal a little bit, I can feel the front end of the bike dip/dive slightly. Again, it's just a guess on my part...but it just made sense (in my head anyway) that if the front was diving, the front brake was gripping first (or tighter) than the rear, seeing as how I have the...

I, too, just installed the speed bleeders. . . WONDERFUL ITEM! But I still get that spongy feeling on the foot pedal (not so much on the hand grip anymore, but a little)...I am definitely going to try removing the caliper bolt and rubber mallet idea this weekend (hadn't ever thought of that...

Ready to ride !!!

Ooo.....the glare of that chrome...
