This simple tool allows you to mount your brake disc in a drill press. Run the drill press at low rpm ...........200 or 300 rpm, and hold some emery paper on the disc surface. This will remove grooves and make you discs look spiffy and new.
These are all interesting. That disc rotor refacing tool a very good idea and quite useful to most of us. Would you mind if I posted that on the DIY Cruisers forum? Its all about do it yourself tips and tricks for motorcyclists of all brands.
...I can't help but wonder -- why isn't this thread a sticky?
I posted a query here last month asking about a design for a stand to use for truing up a laced wheel. I also posted a query to the Yam650 mailing list, and received a prompt response.
Please go into more depth with this. I don't think I am quite getting exactly how this goes together. An easy way to check front alignment would be fantastic.We each have at least 1 truing stand.
Square tube on front of fork, 2x2 on back, clamped together. Magnet mounted dial indicator attached to square tube, bike on jack. Would have worked on the center stand with some weight on the back. End results were true = .010, runout =.035, with a 35+ year old rim, and 30 year old hub/spokes.
