RZV500R Flat-Rate Motorcycle Inspection Front maintenance + OH Wheel bearing maintenance D.I.D ZVM-X & Sunstar service kit + miscellaneous. Day one.
When the question comes up about what to do with the master, if you’re going to go with a Nissin radial, I’d recommend the original Brembo semi-radial instead. I don’t know Nissin’s price, but there’s a good chance this one will come in lower.
16φ with 4P double compatibility / switch mounting available / mirror holder style also available, and so on.
There’s no master bracket, but I think you’ll get plenty of that radial feel.
We’ll start with the fabrication work. A curious meeting of sheet metal and round rod.
It’s not a big deal of a bracket, but with my slow pace it takes about an hour and a half.
Finding ways to save time with tools is going to be the challenge going forward.
The bike enters the service bay and we disassemble the front end.
The air brace O-ring was stuck and wouldn’t come out, so we removed the stem entirely.
It’s rusted pretty sharply.
It’s nicely dirty. You can still see some red color, so it’s relatively new.
