Today is our final day at the Tokyo location (*´ω`*) Starting tomorrow, we’re going full throttle with the move to Chiba! We’re just pouring all our energy into it.
In reality, there’s more paperwork and administrative stuff than actual physical labor, and that’s what’s giving me a headache
↑This is also our final day (*´ω`*) If you get a chance, please take a look. No need to force any support.
So we’ll keep working along at a nice pace (*´ω`*)
I need to make brake hoses or I’ll have trouble getting around
I installed the handlebar extension part from the other day. The width was a bit too wide, so I ended up machining it down to the limit.
This is about as much as I can compromise on.
When the master position changes? The angle of the banjo I want to use changes dramatically.
I ended up changing it from 20 degrees to 45 degrees, so there’s been a bit of a wait until the parts arrive. I think the best approach is to keep the layout simple so the brake hose doesn’t bear unnecessary stress.
What about the back mirror issue??
I want to keep things as simple as possible with minimal parts. I don’t want to move the master to the right side (outside) just to mount the mirror.
That’s what I was struggling with. But the other day, I found something interesting, so I’ve ordered it.
Yamaha NMAX mirror holder offset issue
2DP-F5867-10 2DP-F5867-00 The price is more reasonable than I expected. What I want to know is “holder mounting pitch,” “mirror screw diameter,” and “right-hand/left-hand thread” Since it’s so reasonably priced, I’ve ordered both left and right.
It’s the kind of part that could work on all sorts of motorcycles, so I’m pretty excited about it. And it’s not just for mounting back mirrors— “smartphone holders” and “attachments”
Especially for small parts, we do “OEM sourcing” to cut costs and “keep that untouched look” Quietly black with lightening holes, done right, reasonably priced, and exciting??
Lately I’ve been thinking: we should use air-free banjo bolts
Rear brake master hose layouts are often pretty bad. You sometimes run into trouble because air physically gets trapped in the structure.
But once you bleed the air out, there’s no problem so I haven’t often used air-free banjos. But when you’re doing fluid changes, don’t you want to check areas where air might be a concern?
By using an air-free banjo, you can easily tell if soft brake feel is from caliper or master wear or from air I think you should adopt parts that improve diagnostics and serviceability.
Looking at the side cover, I just noticed something
Looking closely, the color of the Z1R lettering is different… The white one really does look like it was painted on later.
The argon gas is pretty much at the limit, but I can’t move without making the brake master bracket first… At minimum, I want to finish bleeding the front and rear brakes before we relocate. Let me hurry up a bit (*´ω`*)
