  1. I would suspect the caliper would be anodized ?
  2. $20 is a steal . Up here is at least $100 @ dealerships in Paducah , and they don't back down . If you've ever owned a scanner...... Mine was $7k five years ago w/a $120/mo. subscription !
  3. Carl Perkins ! One of The Greatest of All Time
  4. Get the rear wheel off the ground and apply the brake & release . If the rear wheel does not release and it is stuck , loosen the caliper bleed screw and see what happens . Do this a couple of times to see what happens . If it does not release , the problem IS the caliper & go to step 1 If the caliper releases go to step 2 . #1 . Pull the caliper off the wheel and push each piston out (w/the master cyl. pressure) to see which piston is sticking . If you feel capable remove all pistons and inspect . while you are doing all brake work , use Brake-Kleen only . No petroleum products. When you go back together , go to an old style auto parts store for some brake assy. fluid and reassemble. #2 Rebuild brake master cyl. Be deliberate in all steps and tests .
  5. What happened to radio ? When I was in my teens , 100.7 out of Cape Girardeau played the most progressive , heavy metal and greatest R&R I had ever heard . The DJ was "The Nighthog" and every night the station would sign off with Nights in White Satin . Then in the early 90s I stumbled across this station that played In The Air Tonight 24 hrs a day for what seemed like 3 days straight , the it CAME ON . These guys played Robert Cray , Melissa Ethridge and others I NEVER heard of . Those were the days !
  6. That looks pretty good !
  7. Marantz .... I haven't heard that name in a while. I bought these digital audio speakers from this computer repair place (20+ yrs ago) across the river , then had to buy a sound card to play the speakers. There were instruments being played I never knew were in these songs ! Think Bose x Bose . Then I had this surround system ( 5.1 or something like that ) w/about 12 speakers . It was overkill for my living room . I lost the owners manual on how to operate . Finally gave it all to a buddy just to get it out of the way . BTW , I had to play play the 2001 A Space Odyssey {full volume of course) each time I got a new system going ..... Ahhhh... Come on feel the noise !
  8. You can do what ?
  9. Well , go to Auto Zone and price one . IDK if MG uses these fittings exclusively or not . We have had to buy other brand part #s for the same parts .
  10. What"s the phone # for the hotel ? I've been a George Jones* for three years at Burkesville . If you see me , you will see me.
  11. Start buyin' o-rings brother . I have 3 tanks and you better get conservative on your whims !
  12. I'm gonna try . Ride my a$$ !
  13. You might be better off to get a good supply of o-rings to swap things around . If you can't get the stuff you want !
  14. IDK how pricey the new part is ..... Go ahead and replace it , you will (probably) never be satisfied with cleaning it . I know how expensive these are for construction equipment is . WOW !
  15. Uhhhh. would you work knowing this was going to go on later ?
  16. How do these guys ever have time to work on bikes ?
  17. Good to know about the nuts being the indicators of the different sizes . I found this out the hard way !
  18. Keep your eyes open , they will show up soon
  19. Hmmm . Castrol must be bad for MGs to cause all this . If I don't use this , will I NOT have these troubles ?
  20. Do you have one of these ?
  21. IDK her , but the bike I remember !
