Just a quick reminder of the up-coming MA tech day on January 4th at MA Airmarshal Tim Hille's place in Stow MA.? The details are below.? I'm planning to go, mostly for moral support and I THINK James Nice is coming with me. I contemplated removing my master cylinder as sort of a pre-emptive repair.? It's not leaking.? It's one of those things. Leave well enough alone?? If it's not broke?? I was also told that the conversion from the under-tank to the handle bar unit on later models is a simple do.? Decisions decisions. Anyhow, I hope you're all having a great holiday season! Nik Rende Maine A/M Announcing the first New England Airheads event of 2020 - MA Airheads Winter Tech day. This year in the tradition of a small parts tech day, we will be focusing on brakes and the assorted bits that make you stop. Bring your rusty leaky master cylinders and calipers and learn how to renew them ?- to borrow a slogan from a local shop ?we will fix them until they brake?. We will have full bikes on hand for demo and illustration, but this tech session will allow for the ?bring your parts not your bike? tech session. ?Who does not have an airhead with a weepy under tank master cylinder, or a cracked flex line, or just want to be absolutely sure that things are working well when they grab for that lever in a panic because the blind 4-wheel motorist pulls out in front of you while simultaneously making eye contact? Notify me ahead of time about what you want to work on, and we will help coordinate ordering service kits. ?If you know you want to replace your master cylinder, or have tried the repair kit with limited success, we ?can arrange to have some of the rebuilt SS sleeved master cylinders on hand. We will demonstrate methods for aligning the pads, checking the rear drum and pads etc. We will as always make time for some other miscellaneous other topics, and of course Chili, Corn Bread and BT. Location - MA Airmarshals house, Stow MA. It would be great to get some RSVPs to help guess at the amount of Chili and BT etc. Tim Hille 14325 - MA ?Airmarshal Airheads Beemer Club Twitter - twitter.com/airheadsbeemer #Airheadsbeemer Vimeo.com/airheads Instagram.com/AirheadsBeemer -------------- next part -------------- _______________________________________________ MAairheads mailing list MAairheads at mail.casano.com https://mailman.dudley.nu/mailman/listinfo/maairheads From artaha007 at yahoo.com Sat Dec 28 13:04:26 2019 From: artaha007 at yahoo.com (art hammond) Date: Sat, 28 Dec 2019 18:04:26 +0000 (UTC) Subject: [MEairheads] Reminder: MA Airheads Winter Tech Day In-Reply-To: <90a27551-e9bf-a22d-79e1-389e3e3c5259@gmail.com> References: <67C9C6A9-EDB5-4AD8-A11A-C56FBF62F831@gmail.com> <90a27551-e9bf-a22d-79e1-389e3e3c5259@gmail.com> Message-ID: <482669812.4439044.1577556266901@mail.yahoo.com> Hey, Nik... Most folks seem to agree that going to a handlebar mc gives better braking.? If you did this, it would provide the opportunity to downsize the mc to a size that really works.? Easier bleeding also.

I'm thinking I'm going ot look for a replacement right hand control that includes the brake res and go that route rather than take my current one apart and disturb the status quo.
