Careful Blaster, you might get one in the mail. I still owe you for the 'gifts' you sent.  :-D. Just to mention it, the ABS was .093. Surprised THAT was not corrected!  :lol:

Got a couple things done. Roughed out front turn signal mounts. Need to round the corners and clean them up a bit but I think that is where they will be.


REALLY avoiding pulling the screws out of the brake rotor on the rear wheel. Hoped ProCycle would change it for me when I bought the new one. Hey! They had my hub!!!  :lol:  They probably looked at the heads of them and said "No Way!" and just sent the new screws with it. Really hosed up. Was a hub I bought off Ebay, so at least I did not chew them up.  :-)

True that! Finally got back to rounding off the corners of the brackets and mounting them permanently. May do a bit more to them but they are good for now.


Took a couple hours off work to do a 48 mile each way run to buy a couple Baxley motorcycle stands for a great price. Now I have four! Might need one more...  :-D

After getting the 'honey do' list done today I puttered around in the shop and finally decided to stop dicking around and work on getting the old rear rotor off, for better or worse. Did a lot of broken and stuck bolts over the years on old bikes and when I worked at the Electric Motor and Pump Shop. Pumps and electric motors on ocean going boats take a beating!
Dug the Oxy/Acet set out and was showing 15 lbs on the Acetylene bottle. Have not even used it for at least 10 years. Put my smallest tip on and started pulling bolts. There was a couple of hosed up ones but with the hammer driver and the heat five came out with only a little effort. The last one was really hosed up. After determining it was not coming out 'normally' I used my first line of pulling stuck allen head bolts.
I drove a Torx bit into it with my short hand sledge, put the heat to it and smacked it with the hammer driver. BOOM! Out it came! Not near the pain in the rear I thought it would be. Excellent!

Yep, I have removed a few thousand of them and you hit the nail on the head, without heat your beating a dead horse.
I use map gas and hit the bolt for about 30 seconds.
Usually that's enough to get them right out.
Oxy/Acet will do it MUCH faster  :-)
Hammer driver? Mandatory...

Making some painfully slow progress along with all the other crap I have going on including making foam rocks for the pond filter cover.
I did a search for info on the 320mm front brake rotor install to save some trouble but no joy. No instructions included with it other then basic 'make sure it fits without binding'.
Looks like the stock line routing is not going to work, the line brackets will have to go and I will have to pull the line up pins (at least one) out of the caliper to install into the new parts. Ah yes, the joys of modifying stuff!

Looks like the line routing will work. The lower bracket is touching the rotor and that is where I stopped. Figured the whole thing might need to move. Not sure my EBC bracket looks like yours. I will look closer at it before mounting. The rotor bolts were incorrect that were sent with the kit so now I am wondering if something is amiss.

Yeah, I didn't think my EBC set up was gonna work at first either.
But, as you can see it will work with not much to spare.

While it looks like it will work it still does not look like yours. Would have messed with it but got two and a half hours of sleep and drove 450 miles to go Walleye fishing with my fishing fanatic brother in law. Had success!
