SilvrT Posted October 31, 2007 Share #2 Posted October 31, 2007 Well, it appears to be pretty well laid out to me. Simple, clean, effective... IMHO, that's what makes a good website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nance56 Posted October 31, 2007 Share #3 Posted October 31, 2007 It is a nice layout. I find the red a bit hard to read tho. Must be I'm just maturing.(LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbmel Posted October 31, 2007 Share #4 Posted October 31, 2007 The red lettering in the middle with the black surround came out very blurred. And that's with a 19" monitor and eyeballs with new lenses in them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brake Pad Posted October 31, 2007 Share #5 Posted October 31, 2007 Same here, the Red lettering with the arrows, Remove the black background, its blurry and the Red letters at the bottom, set it for Georiga BOLD Your trying to make a statement other then that, cool site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zachtcb Posted October 31, 2007 Share #6 Posted October 31, 2007 other people also said the red gets blurry. Its probably not the eye site. lol. Regards Zach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvrT Posted October 31, 2007 Share #7 Posted October 31, 2007 Looking again... yes, the red lettering with the black shadowing is hard to look at. Try IMPACT font with no shadowing. Or maybe some other font such as THIS or THIS or THIS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please let me know. http://lifesavertcb.com The red in the middle looks fine to me. The red at the bottom of the page is not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orrin Posted October 31, 2007 Share #10 Posted October 31, 2007 Zach, you done real good!!!! I think the site communicates the message and I had no trouble navigating around in it to find information I would want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyHorse Posted November 1, 2007 Share #11 Posted November 1, 2007 Looks good I agree the black on the outside of the red had to go it looks better now. Did you come up with the idea for the lifesaver? How did you come up with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zachtcb Posted November 1, 2007 Share #12 Posted November 1, 2007 I actually bought the company that owned the lifesaver. It has been around for about 3 yrs. The people that owned the company before me had bad marketing. A guy in texas invented this product about 9 yrs ago. It is much more simple than the old owners realized. I love the part. I wouldnt ride without it. I believe that this is gonna change the way brakes work as we know it. What made you interested in this part?

Regards Zach I'm always tinkering with stuff trying to improve on the original design and having good brakes on a bike is something I like. The 1st Gens (83-93 Ventures) in my opinioin leave alot to be desired in terms of braking and I mean alot I think the brakes are terrible. I like ABS brakes and hate linked brakes but with ABS your losing some stopping power. ( I'm not sure about BMW's latest ABS offering I hear its very good.) Your product seems a little different and I probably will try it. Of course now I have to rebuild the right side of my bike from a crash but I'm willing to try your product and see how it affects the terrible brakes on the 1st Gen.

Condor Posted November 1, 2007 Share #14 Posted November 1, 2007 I'm willing to try your product and see how it affects the terrible brakes on the 1st Gen. 1stGens terrible?? I thought mine did a great job of stopping. Maybe not the stopping power of a full blown ABS system, but they've never failed to keep me in control in any riding condition. I rebuilt the intire system on 83#1 about a year and a half ago, and it rocks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Zachtcb Posted November 1, 2007 Share #16 Posted November 1, 2007 I dont think that a bike should have electonic ABS. I agree it can help you control the bike but you have no control after you exceed a point in the braking sequence. Thats why I liked this part and had such interest. Its hydraulic, and the simplicity it has. It also gives you all the control over your system Through the whole braking sequence. But I don't think a motorcycle is heavy enough to use ABS to its full potential. Regards Zach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted November 1, 2007 Share #17 Posted November 1, 2007 Compared to other bikes I 've ridden I m not impressed. OK, I'm willing to learn. Excluding ABS systems, what other cruising bikes on the market impress you more, and how?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyHorse Posted November 1, 2007 Share #18 Posted November 1, 2007 Harleys Goldwings and K1200LT. I ride Roadking alot much better stopping and GW and BMW a couple of friends own and I've ridden. I think Yamaha could have done better. Small front rotors I use 2003 R6 front calipers with HH pads stock rear brake. Linked or unlinked I dont believe the stopping power of 1st Gen is that great. Maybe if I went to a bigger bore master cylinder on the front. Dont get me wrong I love the 1st Gen I really enjoy riding these but I guess I gotta live with the brakes.

Guest Zachtcb Posted November 1, 2007 Share #19 Posted November 1, 2007 DO you think it has to do with the weight of the bike for ABS to work properly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyHorse Posted November 1, 2007 Share #20 Posted November 1, 2007 DO you think it has to do with the weight of the bike for ABS to work properly? I don't know maybe smarter minds then mine can answer that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom Posted November 1, 2007 Share #21 Posted November 1, 2007 jim , what do think about steeling a 2nd front master cylinder , i have not looked at one real close , i know the bars are 1in. but can fix that . ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted November 1, 2007 Share #22 Posted November 1, 2007 DO you think it has to do with the weight of the bike for ABS to work properly? Don't think weight has anything to do with it. It's like being a little bit pregnant. You either is or you ain't.. ABS either works, or it doesn't. It's function is to keep the brakes from locking up, and allows maximum traction between the tire and the road. Whether it's on a 300# rocket or an 800# cruiser. The 800# cruiser will have more traction due to weight and tire footprint, but that's strictly between the tire and the road..... not the ABS.

I have a set of 2ndGen clutch and front brake masters stashed away for the '87. Just liked the looks of them over the stock 1stGens....... Planned on shimming the 7/8ths bars.

I know some guys used a Virago 750 master in place of the standard 1st Gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
