My winter project

[An03inAZ]

Dang, through desert powder? I was quoted 3 weeks last Saturday lol

 

[thrstrmech]

three weeks, wow

update on the project in work, remember my S to R front conversion, well doing the rear this time waiting on supplies to repair the plastics, already have the frame, under tail, and seats. the seat cowl should arrive next week along with the other goods for the bike.

 

[thrstrmech]

Shindy Daytona Nissin master cylinder 17-653B, 1/2" piston just like the stock set up, short lever 127 and change at Amazon, free shipping

waiting on the reservoir like the one on the rear before installing it.

correction on price and where I bought it from...got it from ebay and it was 145 with free shipping, was looking at another one on amazon before, but decided on this one due to the piston size and being all black, came in the mail yesterday and was ordered Wednesday night. pretty fast shipping.

thrstmech,

Could you post the part number or link to the matching short levers for the Shindy / Nissin master cylinder you purchased.

I already have short levers, and I'm supposing that the master cylinder you purchased was for the six piston caliper.

I'm looking to do this upgrade for my O'Ladies bike. Thanks.

Shindy Daytona Nissin master cylinder 17-653B

...listed below the pic, not specific for the 6 piston caliper, just went with the same size piston of the stock master cylinder, so essentially changing the look of the master cylinder, though keeping the out put the same.

and look here Shindy Products

90% Gloss Black powder coating: check...goodbye Stardust Silver and polishing

nice [up]

 

[thrstrmech]

while I was waiting for one of our planes to arrive, got the bearings and spacers installed. still waiting on the rear tire to show up.

 

[thrstrmech]

tire showed up yesterday, so after work today got both mounted, but hardware will not be here 'til Monday. front brake reservoir hasn't been shipped yet.

 

[thrstrmech]

got the tires mounted on Friday and the hardware arrived today for the rotors and sprocket, after dinner got them installed and wheels back on the bike. think they make the frame stand out more. I'll have to take another pic in day light, the garage is just a bit too dark.

 

[thrstrmech]

better picture in daylight

Very nice

 

[thrstrmech]

thanks, working on a R tail that will be plug and play to change back and forth between the two color plastic sets I have. the R tail will be part of the white plastics and the S tail will go with either yellow or white plastics. both tails have lights mounted, so it's really plug and play. mounts in the works for the ecm, fuse box, bank angle sensor and gray dongle in the R tail frame. check out my other thread "would you believe" for the mock up so far.

 

[thrstrmech]

new reservoir showed up today, so got busy installing it along with the Shindy Daytona master cylinder. now front and rear brake reservoirs match

 

[thrstrmech]

ordered an MDI carbon fiber seat cowl, $106.33, plus $7.99 for shipping, shouldn't take long to get since they are located in SoCal, practically next door and 350 miles away

 

[thrstrmech]

MDI seat cowl has been shipped, woohoo...and on that note, my winter project comes to an end.


time for a spring/summer project

 

[AZmidget91]

It's funny how fast summer crept up on us this year...

 

[thrstrmech]

we're having 90* weather ................. to the rest of you guys around the country

Summer? It is snowing outside right now and in the 20's. Ugghhh. So not fair!
