What to do first?

[keand3]

Use a tap the same size as the damaged bolt and see if you can dress the threads so it will hold. If that doesn't work then the next step is drill a larger hole and use Helicoils.

Thanks for the tip Craig. I'll will give it a go

Here is an update...





The current design is based on the clamp bolts in the vertical position and room to use stand-offs to get the bracket clear of the clamp.

[WhiteBeard]

That looks awesome.


You should seriously consider manufacturing some of those brackets.
I for one will get them!

Looks great Mark. I'm thinking I might like to have one, no two if you decide to manufacture them. I alreadt have the clutch and brake masters but no urine cups. They would look good with a couple of the billet cups. Like I said before YOU DA MAN. Big R

[fj11.5]

oh so thats they're for,, now i would need two as well 

[keand3]

Mark, your design look awsome! It realy would blend nicely with the handeIbar.
There arent amy brackets out there that look good on the FJ

Keep up the good work. Can't wait to fit it on the bike.

as i  have 2 84,s no dog bones, f4i bolts up easily, ,  and an 88 f4i shock needs mods, , i think your 86 should be set up like the 84,s? ? and you should only need a bushing,  or bearing/s for the bottom mount,  but someone here that knows more than me should have info you need about the 86 ,, cheers rod, ,, or post a pic of the lower mounts for your shock

If it's only some bearings and bushing that's needed to fit the F4i shock, then I'm all in
Would rather had wait for Randy's shock to be available instead of having manufacture bits and pisces to make this shock fit.

88 shocks need mods you say, is there a specific yearmodel I should go for? The donorbike is an 06 I think, not sure.

Cheers


The 01 to 06 f4i shocks arer the ones.  For the 86 fj there is minimal effort to make it work.

Okey so my FJR1300 clutch master switch has been stalled and i have decided to get a new Nissin Clutch master cylinder instead.

But can someone explain to me if there is a huge difference between a 14mm and 19mm cylinder? I know the bigger piston would deliver more pressure, im intrested in knowing how it feels like compared to a 14mm, and if i really need a 19mm?

That's a 19mm radial type m/c, right?     

[keand3]

Yes, 19mm radial 

[Arnie]

I don't know how to compare the size of "radial" master cylinder bores to "normal" master cylinder bores.

For "normal" m/c the smaller the bore, the easier it is to squeeze the lever.
However, the larger bore units displace more fluid for a given distance moved.

This means that for a given set of calipers.....

A m/c with a small bore will take less hand pressure for a given
amount of disk braking force (squeeze).  It will also require more movement of the lever.
You should be able to moderate this easier (and maybe more accurately) than a large bore m/c.

If you have strong hands, you'll be able to get the same braking force with
less movement of the lever on a larger bore m/c, but you'll have to squeeze harder
and may not be able to moderate the braking force as accurately.

Potential problems with each:
Large bore m/c:  You may not be strong enough to get maximum braking or to control it
Small bore m/c:  You may run out of lever stroke and hit the bar before max braking.

Neither is "better", it is another choice you have to make.

Thanks Arnie 

Now i know what to look for. Guess i have to try them out to see what suits me

Does anyone have a good tip on how to mount the UNI filters?
Everytime i try to tighten them they just slide right of my carbs.

Try wiping the surfaces down with contact cleaner, and don't overtighten them.
