There is only a bleed valve at the bottom on the caliper. How do I bleed it from the master cylinder?

Thanks, I'll give that a shot.

I recently cleaned and synced my carbs and got my new project cb650 running, but cylinder 3 isn't producing heat like the other 3 are. The exhaust pipe stays much cooler than the others when I run it (it does warm up a little, but there is an obvious difference when compared to the others)...

I recently bought this master cylinder: http://www.dimecitycycles.com/vintage-caferacer-cafe-racer-bobber-brat-chopper-custom-motorcycle-brake-parts-aluminum-universal-hydraulic-front-brake-master-cylinder-perch-lever-kit-717-602.htmlv I hooked it up today, along with a new brake line, and...

What kind of bike?

Thanks. That helps a bunch. I like the saran wrap idea, I'll definitely do that.

9. Because of how they handle

Thanks, I'll avoid the clear coat. I love the polished wheel. Black would look cool too though.

ps - and have you ever done it with a tank that was already painted? Should I be worried about ruining my paint when I apply it? Adding the Caswell was kind of an afterthought for me, but I really think it would give me some peace of mind, despite having a fiberglass tank on my bike.

Just curious, what did you use to plug the petcock holes when you applied the Caswell lining?

I just ordered some. I'm hoping it does the trick.

6. They're usually cheap (at least when you're starting the project)

And the only chicks you can pick up are the ones you want to pick up - the ones who have bikes

5. They're nostalgic

4. You never have to haul anything. And you couldn't even if you wanted to. It's just you and the bike.

3. You never have to give rides

2. Kick starts

I thought I'd start a new thread all about why we love cafe racers. I hope this isn't a duplicate of another thread, but if so, I guess there's nothing wrong with showing a little extra love for our bikes here as well. So to start things off... 1. You can't buy them brand new from a shop...

Re: Another 750...sorry but i love her(pics too) No, not at all on my bike. I just epoxied on some little tabs that I fabricated and they work great. Honestly it's such a nice fit on my CB650 that I could almost just press it down and not even worry about mounting it. It is a little longer...

Thanks for the info. I'm considering doing the same on my build. Do you do any kind of clear coat over it?
