[MEairheads] Reminder: MA Airheads Winter Tech Day

[art hammond]

 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.

 Good evening folks!  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!

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.
