Re: Brake fluid change video
I'm trying to not have bad thoughts about the flat black paint and the rivets. I guess it's a GOTHWing.
Nice, direct video, well done. He does the same thing that I do -- put the stuff I don't often need in the left saddlebox
And it shows how much work I avoided by installing Speed Bleeders when I did this job last week.

Perhaps he is simply going to convert his bike to run on steam.I'm trying to not have bad thoughts about the flat black paint and the rivets. I guess it's a GOTHWing.

Question: What size are the speed bleeders for the 1500? It's time for my brakes to be serviced.Solo So Long wrote: ↑Fri Oct 22, 2021 12:31 pm I'm trying to not have bad thoughts about the flat black paint and the rivets. I guess it's a GOTHWing.

Re: Brake fluid change video
Not in a million years would I put an open jar of brake fluid inside the saddlebag like that. One moment's inattention, if that were to dump, or even some drops of brake fluid were to drip onto the bottom of the saddlebag, you can kiss that saddlebag goodbye.

Re: Brake fluid change video
I had similar thoughts. Even a few drops of brake fluid on that plastic will ruin it.

Re: Brake fluid change video
Depends on the year.
If you plan to keep the bike, I would go with the stainless steel ($15 ea), the standard are $7 ea. They have them for the brakes and the clutch slave cylinder.
