    What year? I would look around and buy a used one.. EDIT: saw in your profile you have an 83? Check with capt murph... i bought the rear master from him, he may still have the rear res. He's got good prices and ships fast! If he doesn't have it check the rest of the classifes here!

    I would just do what your did.. "What helmet? Ohhh, You mean my weird looking hat?" He can give you a ticket, but the judge would throw it out if you went to the hearing.

    Thanks to the master cly and rear caliper that i got from Captain Murph---> i now have brakes! Still alittle spongy, but i'll finish bleeding them tomorrow (thanks god for mityvac!) The problem was the rear master cyl is was just not pumping enough under pressure. Thanks for all the help and suggestions from everyone! it was a real help when i felt like draging it into the Ocean.. hehe Finish beeding and putting the fairing on and cleaning it up and it will just be ready in time for me to put it in the garage when the hurricane gets here..lol (I live in Alabama right on the coast)

    If they were already stoped and the PO's stopped to give them some protection with the lights then.. That i have no problem with, heck.. would buy them some coffee or something! lol

    Pulled them over to protect them? What? I wouldn't want anyone pulling me over to "protect" me.. I'm an adult i can pull off the road myself at an exit or something if i want.

    Its people like that that really piss me off.. He takes a helmet thinking he is saving $50 and he causes thousands of dollars of damage that the tax payers have to take care of. 1. the time it takes you to go back and do everything, victim/witness.. and the paperwork and warant. 2. the time of the other PO's to look for him and issue warant. 3. extradition process and then the fugitive squad. 4. then the cost of holding him in custody for about a week. How much is all that gonna cost?? And what is the ammount he will most likely pay? Costs alot i bet and he will hardly pay anything and the taxpayers pick up the rest of the tab..

    Thats pretty cool.. not my style though.. having my feet stick out in front of the wheels, hehe Did some googling and found this.. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm82/tshtrikes/?action=view&current=S7300566.flv along with lots of photos and a couple more videos at http://tshtrikes.com/?cat=4 THAT is almost exactly what i want to do.. except i wouldn't test drive with those sharp pointy parts ready to impale my head! lol Thats with the side by side seating also..

    Your all looking at me like i'm crazy arn't you?

    I know here in AL, you can put a storage lien on the bike.. Problem is it takes like 60-90 days before you can then close on it and apply for the title in your name. Couple things... 1. The person you bought it from.. did they have a title and lost it? You can have them apply for a replacement title and then have them transfer it to you when it comes in.. Could take a week or so? 2. If they also didn't have the title was it stolen or something? lol WHY don't they have it? If they got it off a friend see if the friend can apply for replacement title and then transfer into your name. 3. if you have no idea you can search for the title owner (there are forms for this at the DMV i believe) then ask them to transfer it over. Have a lien on it forst incase they try and pull a fast one and try and get it back for nothing. Thats if it wasn't stolen of course..

    A frame WITH a title don't forget.. Good luck!

    Reverse trike, hammerhead trike,tadpole trike.. whatever you want to call it.. Two wheels in front and one in the back. I'm planing on starting one this winter... Heres the plan... (in simple terms) 1. Get a donor car. (small front wheel drive automatic car) 2. Then chop off everything from the dashboard back. 3. Leaving the whole front end, that i can then weld on a frame leading back to the single rear wheel. 4. Then fabricate a fiberglass or carbon fiber body to make it look cool..lol 5. Ride it off into the sunset! -------------------------------- SOOOOOOOO.... Has anyone done something like this here? What are some of the "major" problems i might run into? Couple options.. Leave it a side by side 2 seater. Or make seating like a reg bike 2 seater astride. Side by side i could leave most of the stearing alone i think.. Astride i would have to change it around somehow, to center the stearing handlebars. Basicly just an idea so far.. just thinking of starting to plan it out. Its had to be done before so i'll of course google it and see what i can find.. but wanted to see if anyone here had done anything like this?

    I'll try again tonight the way you outlined! Why do they make it so hard? lol

    I took off the rear caliper, and it apears to be stuck all the way in.. can't get them to move at all.. I sent a msg to a guy in the classifies here that was parting out 2 bikes and hes only 42 miles from me.. so i'm hoping he has the master and rear caliper and i'll just replace them all and start fresh. I hooked the vac upto the hose that connects to the caliper and it gets fluid out there fine.. but heck if i can get all the parts i'll do the swap and keep these as spares if i rebuild them. I am just sooooo tired of fighting it..lol
  14. shriva
    The res looked super clean and the fluid looked like new, but the guy i bought it off of may have added enough new if he was trying to fix it. I was just trying whatever i could before i rebuild the master.. But it looks like i'm not going to get lucky..hehe I'll starting pulling it apart tonight i guess

    i just thought of something.. I remember when i was searching here for this problem somebody plugged (with a bolt i think) where the front line attaches to the rear master. So the petal only worked the back and then linked the two front together to the front brake handle. Would i be able to do that to test the master? Like i plug where the line comes out to the back brakes and see if the rear master works the front left brake? Maybe i could do that to try and narrow down exactly what part i need to fix/replace...?
