Not much skill involved in diagnosing bad gas w/ Mega in the area--just clear sinuses.

This is the boy HDMD88 trained, who built my motor and who correctly diagnosed the problems after the "the SERT map changed" diagnosis from Dumbgrass H-D.
The bad gas was my personal shot in the dark after Dumbgrass said "everything checks out fine" after 4+ hours...
I actually figured they checked some stuff out.
Silly me...

Check this rotor out. Those round buttons that mount between the hat and the brake disk allow the brake disk some movement between it and the hat when braking to help remove lateral run out. Lateral run out is what you feel when the fork shakes while braking.

It was a water question, Dave.
Have another Corona.

I'd suggest a new turd separator.



This is a non-floating model.

Ends need radiused, like the cow stomach magnet.

Oh, that comes standard on the tight-ass model.

Who thought a serious technical discussion would turn out like this one.

No sense getting wound up about it. Let the chips fall where they may.

Seriously (hay, there's that werd agin'), boss, have you considered upgrading the brake lines to braided stainless while yer at it?

Let's see where we go now, shall we?

Better feel and less fade from rubber line expansion.

TC, did you do this to your bike? If so, is the difference noticeable?

I'm seriously contemplating upgrading the brakes on my bike with floating rotors, better pads, and the SS lines, when fundage becomes available.

This will probably happen later than sooner.
