Do you still have the Kaboom flywheel or the improved one . If you have the OEM , that's like riding around with a dissected aorta !

Franklin , Tn. Is that where all the rich people live ?

The cans....mmmm . The tank striping as with any mod , you have to stay close to the bank but still be BOLD . this one did it !

Buddy , if you need a resistor , name the resistance and your address !

Mmmmm . If you can get #s , you can see about different brands . Check different vendors and see what they have to offer . Unless there is something super out there , I would go back w/OEM .

Whatever you do , make sure you do NOT damage the bore of the fork where the seal goes into the fork tube . When you install , lube everything liberally going back together . Use the be$t fluid and measure it exact when it goes together, use good towels & gloves to keep ANYTHING foreign away . Don't be upset if they leak . They will do this for about a month or two .

I'm not near anything to dhow you the difference . the fork caps are visibly different . Hopefully someone will show pics . I found this out when I ordered seals , bushings , etc . for mine . The 2002/2003ish V11 Sport . I can't remember if the bare aluminum / black upper fork is a factor or not .

Docc , I assume you & yours made it ok . My buddy & family ( in Franklin ) made it ok .

Great price !

Yeow !

As long as they weren't swapped out .

Ohlins or Marzocchi design #1 or design #2 ?

Now , when I get back in town , I'm gonna have to disassemble these calipers and apply brake assy. lube and reinstall . I spent all day kickin' this around . On the brite side , I'm getting good at this !

Transition period ? That's funny . M/G is a transition period .

If it matters , what are you using as a gasket when you reinstall ? What caused the damage anyway ?

I'm glad you did as well as you did . Keep us posted on any needed parts .

I have two bottles of Raybestos brake assy. fluid and didn't think about it until I turned out the lights …….. As far as torque procedures , my philosophy "it's tight enough for me". I have a 3/8'' click type , a 1/2" click type , a 1/2" dial type , a 1/2" digital type and a 3/4" click type . All Snap-On . The only time I use them is when I do something I think is critical . I would have torqued the head gasket on my air compressor when I reassembled it , but I couldn't get the torque wrench back there to reach it ! Being a bit lazy & anxious did not help my cause !

Found the pads . EBC . Got it back together / bled with a lot of "rigging" , Phoenix bleeder and DOT 4 . I cleaned up the pins / stuff , then used cold galvanize spray on them . I forgot to use brake assembly lube …..Mmmm. I don't like aging . I used to remember EVERYTHING and knew where EVERYTHING was , so I didn't try to organize . You wanted a 3/8'' SAE nut . No problem , I would dig you one out of a pan somewhere . Now , where did I put that FUC#ING brake caliper ? Then , where did I put the FUC#ING brake pads ? And so it goes !

IF he's referring to caliper to mount bolts , they are 8mm . I removed mine to flush the fluid . To whom it may concern ; drop the caliper and inspect the pads and all the doodads under the plastic cover . I just took mine out flushing brake fluid and caliper clean-up to find ugly worn-out pads and pins . What brand pads do you recommend ? I thought I has some rear pads in stock , but I can't find them .

I did find torque specs on fasteners . I also found conversion formulas .\ To go ft. lb. to N.M. ; multiply ft.lb X 1.35 = N.M. 100ft.lb. = 135 N.M. To go N.M. to ft.lb ; multiply N..m x 0.74 = ft.lb. 100 N..M. = 74 ft.lb. I hope this is right ?

You should see a Jetta diesel with a pipe this tall out the back . It was easy to spot in the parking lot !

ThanX . I can't find my chart . and I'm doing a caliper flush & refill . I removed the calipers , R&R all pistons and cleaned them . UGH . This brake fluid smelled awful after sitting 25 yrs . I'm going to have to do this to everything !!!!!!! I'm using DOT 4 fluid too .

I would assume around 45 ft lbs . ( I can't find a chart , but I think this is a 10mm bolt ? IDK how to convert to newton/meters.

You CAN post more than one pic ..... How much did the mod cost ?

Don't be too sad , certain Ducatis , when the sidestand breaks off , the engine case is destroyed . Leaving you with a very beautiful red bike that will cost twice it's value to repair .
