My other daughter was getting lessons yesterday on the little red bike. She had her gear on which may or may not have helped when it tipped over sideways on her while stopped. I guess her foot got caught. Either way, no issues, and I like to think that at least the footwear helped. At the same...

Wow! A lot of good ideas here! I love it.

To revive an old thread instead of starting a new one. The bike is running good and smooth now. I never got the rear brake working to my satisfaction, but it did function. The speedo I had a spare of and threw it in fixing that. The clutch seal was replaced, but still leaks, the rod looked good...

Old thread, but for similar questions. Normal Sportster takeoffs, with adapters and a hanger would answer this last post.

I always wondered about that.

Why? While the 750 is not as common I think you can hardtail about any bike.

The master cylinder. It only moves as far as the dark line on the shaft. The brakes are on then, but not strong enough to do much. When I depress it the just past that it locks solid. Linkage from the rear. Not very revealing. I will try for a better one. From the top. Again not very good. I...

I am hunting parts for this now.

I cleaned it out while I was reassembling the bike. The piston moves freely.

Ok I know this was converted by the PO. The MC has the lever attached and appears to be this from Mike's: The rear was always weak from the moment I got the bike, but good front more than made up for it. Now, I want to fix this. I looked it over really well tonight and found that the linkage is...

Ok the clutch seems to be moving freely now. When I went to do the brakes I found that the front MC pulls as much as it pushes. I figure it is time for a rebuild/replacement. I didn't touch the rear yet.

Thanks. I will check it this weekend when I swap sprockets to taller gearing

I am my unit's Motorcycle Mentorship Program Representative. All riders in my unit take their lead from me supposedly. I am supposed to be the epitomy of the rules about riding in the Marine Corps. So it would be REALLY bad for my career to be caught by that one obvservant LEO. Not to mention I...

Ok all notorized by an Officer and will be going out with the unit mail tomorrow. A couple weeks to get the bugs worked out before I can bring her to work and back a few times for testing. Until then I will be in my little culdesac enjoying the nostalgic value of my first bike under me again...
