Boom! (*’\u25bd’) It’s freezing, isn’t it? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So we’re making steady progress bit by bit (*\u00b4\u0437`)
Working on it piece by piece as we go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I’d like to overhaul the rear master, but the parts are discontinued.
Since brakes are critical, I won’t use overhaul parts as substitutes. There are replacement options available, so I went with those instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake pedal is so rusted it won’t move at all.
I’ll clean up each spring and component one by one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Time flows on…
Nissin’s pitch is perfect – can use it as-is. (There’s a spacer in between though…) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The hose outlet diameter and direction are a bit awkward.
I’ll need to think about this one… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I’ll use a lock nut for the rear axle.
Just realized it’s M18-1.5 – that’s how it goes sometimes.
Oh, I’m covering it with a clean spare nut. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bearings and shaft are fine, so we’re good to reuse them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The front caliper was brought in for aluminum piston replacement.
Wow, it’s light! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hmm? The diameter is different… I wonder why… I’ll put this on hold for now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Disassembling the fork.

The part count is incredibly low \u266a This is the best! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I’m honing the plating on the inner tubes.
I think it’ll probably resist leaks better now… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The inner tubes showed no runout. Rest assured. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Now it’s just assembly as usual (*’\u25bd’) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The fork oil was looking a bit tired. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
