Building long fendered bike

[digschopper]

I'm kidding about being a zoo keeper,I just have too many animals. We have tons of little lizards,only see one type...I'll see if I can't get a photo,but I've no idea what they are.

[digschopper]

Oh,the pet lizards...I was thinking of the ones outside. We have leopard geckos.

The upholsterer had my seat for months. He finally got it done,at $185. I'm speachless...so nice.

The lump at the front helps blend into the doghouse.

Is there any reason i can't use an adapter instead of the banjo on my master cylinder, with a copper crush washer? I replaced the hose with 3/16" hardline through the bars.

[digschopper]

Hardline connects directly to adapter.

[digschopper]

Hidden hardline.

I never paid much attention to what the bottom of the hole for the banjo bolt looks like.
Does it have a cone shape seat like one for a flared fitting does?
If it doesn't then the flared end of the line isn't gong to seal against anything and the brake fluid will go around it and up between the inverted nut and the hardline.

The ends appear both cone shaped and engage. There seems enough gap left for a crush washer. My vernier calipers died, so i suppose its try and hope.

If you recall the black with purple ghost flames paintjob, ill be crushed if i get fluid on it.

I would mock up a line and try it on the master cylinder on the bench instead of on the bike. Solder the opposite end of the line shut so squeezing the brake lever will build pressure and let you know if the inverted nut sealed or not.

Sounds good bud, ill do that. Using Dot4.

I received my powder coating kit. Someone donated a clean used oven, its now a matter of getting a 220 outlet wired below the shop breaker box. Fork lowers, disc covers and calipers will get coated. I hate messing with AC, and ill be buying a new box, as the present one doesnt have space for more breakers.
