On a slightly different note I just got the new stator and brushes for my R65 LS so that bike should be back on the road pretty quick too.

I I dug in and cleaned out the master cylinder, there was definitely a bunch of gunk in there. I got it so it was flowing well in both directions and ...

I just got a tip from the guy who will be my new mechanic. He was telling me that the orifices in the master cylinder get clogged so the fluid will no...

Only most of them. I don't think my '82 has ever had any work done to it to my knowledge and I've been familiar with this bike since my friend first o...

The Spiegler kit is very pretty! I think I will go with that. Clear lines and blue fittings might be nice! I should replace the lines on my R65 LS as ...

Ok, when I get a chance I will start tracing wiring to see what I see. I just know when I would lose the signal lights on the R65 it was usually becau...

Thanks for all your help Richard! My first run out yesterday was great, decent weather despite a section of fog and reasonable temps. I met up with Ti...
