    Thank you guys. I am in Northern California, I would love to fish Texas, where they are way bigger!

    I have been so busy, I have had zero time to work on Aretha. This weekend I will be fishing, but I am trying to plan a bike maintenance trip soon.

    Brakes are just added unnecessary weight

    This one normally pushes a 2 piston caliper, so I am actually more worried it will be too sensitive, but I hardly use the rear anyways.

    I figured i might have to get creative, but the cylinder was $10 and a Goldwing one was $200+. So I will make it work somehow.

    Thank you all for the kind words. This is the master cylinder I am going to use to replace the broken one in the rear. It came off of a CBR1000RR...

    I finally got Aretha to stand under her own weight! So, of course I jumped on, made motor sounds with my voice and did a speed tuck... I got the rear air shocks filled and installed. the front shock still need to be filled with a syringe (I am procrastinating that job). The rear master...

    This weekend, I am determined. I am headed up to Paradise to get Aretha running. I ordered a new ring for the gas tank online for more money than I wanted to spend. I am going to collect all of the fluids and other little tools that I need. I also found out that I can register my bike as a...

    Thank you. I have been letting her sit for too long.

    Yes that is true, but I am also looking to distrubute weight evenly. I may end up going with a slightly higher seat and lower handlebars to move body weight forward. If these bars are not low enough then I will look for some clip-ons. I will really just have to feel out the right position an...

    "Hard tail"... Thank you. I will see how I like the drag bars, they may be a bit low and forward for comfort, I may want to raise the seat in the future too, it rides way lower than the stock one, I feel like I am crouching a lot to sit on it (I am 6'). Then again, I have not ridden many...

    It is good to be back on here. I have been super busy with school, fishing, and maintaining my Civic. I am now on winter break from school, so I did a little more work on the Aretha. I mainly finished up a few sub projects... Changed rear wheel bearings Assembled brake assemblies Installed rear...

    I never stopped, just slowed to a crawl. I was going to work on it this weekend but ended up working on my car and fishing instead lol

    Vinyl wrap as paint

    I just saw a nice example of vinyl wrap on a BMW yesterday. I am debating doing a vinyl wrap or Plasti-dip coating on my Civic, I hate the dark metallic green color. BTW Plasti-dipping is cheaper than vinyl wrapping.

    I transferred to San Francisco State University this semester, and my car burnt a valve the first week of school. So I have been selling my Volvo, buying a 1997 Civic DX (base trim, D16 engine). I had to do some neglected preventative maintenance like: Timing belt water pump TB tensioner all 3...

    What are you LISTENING to right now?

    All of her acoustic live performances are incredible, that is what actually made me like her in the first place, I don't really like her album stuff as much.
