    I just came in from the garage where I installed a new set of EBC rotors, and even though they are marked left and right, I can not see any difference in them! they will mount either way, and are symetrical, but depending on WHICH way you mount, the cross driled holes wil go one way or the other way. Then I took a good hard look at the rotors on my '84 and for the life of me I CAN'T see any difference. It loks like THEY can be mounted on either side, as long as the orientatuion of the center fins is right...

    Seing as I am paying closer to $150 each for my E3's, I'd say you made a good deal...

    Yes it is! There is a left and a right rotor. They are vented and the difference is which direction the cooling fins face. If you use a left for a right, etc. the cooling fins won't work, they won't draw air into the center, and therefore won't dissipate heat as well. Dissipating heat is the name of the game for stopping. Brakes use friction to work, which generates heat and must be transferred away to keep stopping...

    Jack, he's from England, they drive on the wrong side and therefore the controls are backwards...

    The advantage of the replacement cables is that they are a thicker cable, conductor wise. This helps out the old "starting when hot" problem as heat raises wire resistance, but more strands means more "resistors" in parallel lowering the total resistance from point a to point b considerably. This results in a smaller IR drop across the cable which means more voltage to the starter motor. You are right about corrosion as it too adds resistance to the cabling resulting in less voltage to the motor...,

    Gee, I thought it was the frogs have to freeze 3 times before you plant...

    Oops, forgot Easter is next weekend!! Oh, well, there's always the following weekend for what I don't get done, such as the rear brake, the clutch, etc...

    Ever hear of Depends??? Just wait til you're really old, you will eat those words... P.S. No, I'm not using them... yet! I for one am planning on triking Goldie in a couple of years due to toe loss and deteriorating health. Wife and I are looking forward to being professional biker bums once I retire!

    Yah, my guess is a stuck float as well, especially if you are seeing sludge in the resovoir. That being the case I DEFINATELY recommend rebuilding components. The only alternative for brakes on a motorcycle is to find something soft to hit...
  23. bongobobny
    Man, glad to hear they are relatively OK! I will pray for a speedy recovery! I may have some plastic pieces he can use to fix the Venture depending on what's broke and what's not. Have him PM me with needs when he gets around to it...

    Gee, if you pick it up next Saturday, you can stop over and help support the bike while I wack bearing races out of the frame...

    Ron went to Harbor Freight and only spent $20??? He must have spent more than that! I try to stay away from there as I usually spend $100 or so...
