Got a lot done today, so a lot of pix....
Had these 10 mm gaskets for the banjo's on hand,
They're a tight fit over the bolts....
The right bolt is a stock M10 x 1,00 unit for the caliper....
The left one is my "homemade" M10 x 1.25 for the master cylinder...
Cleaned up the caliper inside and out, and installed the inner seal
and the outer boot...
Mounted the master cylinder back on the handlebar and connected the brake line
Routed the brake line so it doesn't touch the tank on full right fork crank....
Ran it down the left leg to the caliper....
The 90 banjo bolt mounted "up" gives more of a loop in the brake line...
But once the weight is on the forks it might be better to flip
that banjo over to the "down" side, will check that out once
it's back on the road....
Cleaned up the caliper slider bolts, greased them,
and put new boots on them....
Cleaned up the caliper inside and out, and installed a new seal...
And a new boot, getting that outer lip on that boot in
it's groove inside the caliper was a job and a half !!!
Took a break from the brakes and worked on the carb a bit...
Decided to use a new float bowl needle valve,
even though the old one looked good to me....
The lower one is the new one,
it has a triangular shape, and the bore it fits in is much larger
than the original one, so it might respond faster to fuel inflow requirements....
Spent a lot of time getting the float set the way Harley Davidson want's it,
but I got it right on the money....
Assembled the carb with new gaskets and used a brass
washer under the float bowl....
I hope this is correct, I couldn't remember what was there when I took it apart,
and couldn't find a reference to what is supposed to go there....
Back to the caliper, final assembly, pads, tightened everything up....
Backside view, love those star hubs....
Assembled the carb, haven't mounted it as yet....
These parts were wire brushed with a brass wire wheel, then clear coated....
That front brake caliper likewise....
Still need to hook up the fuel line,
and the throttle cable....
This is the guide I have for this carb, it's in an old shop manual....
