Brodie said:I like post #17 of that thread by "Dean".
A point system to determine if your bike is "Hipster" or "Cafe"
That is what is wrong with the "scene". People have an imaginary judging clip board and mark point on a bike before deciding if they like the owner or not.
I would rather decide if I like the owner then point out what I think is can be done to improve the bike in a performance and safety sense.
All I can see from that other thread is "You bike is shit because of this and this" , the attitude over here is much better. Sure we will still tell you what we think of your bike but at least we are going to tell you how to fix the problems. Sometimes even if you don't ask....
it doesn't, not really, it does change slightly how each shoe is leveraged with the reverse direction of the cam but the issue you have is what I mentioned alreadyZedx said:How would the drum brake lever being up instead of down effect the funcontality? im not trying to be a prick just curious. From what I can see is it works on a cam and flipped up versus down seems to have the same effect. Once again just trying to understand.
Totally agree about the bends in the linkage total spring action and basically useless, will most certainly be addressed.

Hoofhearted said:Marc. You are one of the few that I pay attention to what you post. You've built a bike so you know what you are talking about. There are too many on there (and other forums) that are phantom builders and quick to attack. Which reminds me. Did you get your starter sorted?

that is the brake rod is being pulled way to far from the swinger centerline resulting in bump brake
every time the wheel moves up or down so does the brake pedal
To help you understand better, the bottom end of the motor, the rocker boxes and internals and the engine cradle of the frame are the only parts left that are Harley Davidson. Everything else is custom or hand fabricated.DreadRock said:Didn't read his post just saw the pic and to be truthful I know ZERO about HDs beside basic knowledge ! Never said I didn't like it all I said was it didn't look like much other then body work :
And yes I do need glasses LOL
Brodie said:Here is a good example of a cable setup on a CB750
Roc City Cafe said:that's actually a really bad example, not to slam you (I'm not), but look at the lever ratio, it's tiny, you've got a 5" foot peg, and 2" lever arm, going to the brake arm, you've got force multiplication of maybe 2-3 when it should be 12-20
