What Did You Did To Your Motobrick Today ?

What did I do to my Motobrick today?

I broke my front right turn signal. Does that count for anything?

I could ban you for a week if you think that would help. :tongue

Balls!!! Oh well guess you'll have to get a shiny new one.

I rode my brick hard hard hard today, trying to see if I could break it. No such luck. 5-6krpms steadily. Thing is built like a brick ch!t house!!!

My wife would like that. She feels that I spend way to much time on line.

BTW, Duck, do you have a front right turn signal available?

Hey all, I'm fresh to this forum.
 I have been messing with a way to keep the fuel rail cool using air from the NACA scoop on the L/H side of the cowling ('95 K1100RS) I'd like to post pictures but haven't figured that out yet.

fuel rail

[TimTyler]

Added a water bottle holder to left rear system case today. I've got a tiny bungee somewhere to help keep the bottle seated.

Heading across the country on Wednesday.

Looks like one of them has a Fuel + unit in it. Is that the one you found on ebay?

The previous owner replaced the cover with one from an '87 becuase the old one had a crack in the glass.

The bike is back together now. The new injectors are AMAZING, at 3,000+ revs it's like a tidal wave (not bad below 3,000 either  :laugh). Still waiting on my CarbTune to sync the bodies, but it's running pretty smooth anyway.

I have been wanting to mount a water bottle on my brick too. Just have not been able to find a location that I am happy with. I am thinking about the forward part of the right hard case. up close to the frame. Problem is that I want to be able to use it if I am not running with the cases on the bike.

[hartrepair]

Are the injectors from eBay too?

I am thinking about the forward part of the right hard case.

I had one there a few months ago. Removed it after bumping it too many times while getting on the bike.

Yes, they're from OSideTiger.

I just put a bladder in my tank bag and run the hose out.....

Yeah, I am concerned about bumping the bottle if I put one there and I can't run one out of my tank bag because I do not own a tank bag:(

[BexarWolf]

Installed a johnny blanket tonight. Or at least, I think I did. The tank didn't feel like it's seated all the way at the back but the pins are in the rubber grommet. I'll find out tomorrow if it's successful after running around town in the 100+ degree weather they have predicted for us. Today I had this REALLY hot spot on the inside of my right thigh. I guess it was coming from the seam between the seat, tank and side panel. Tomorrow shall tell the tale. <fingers crossed>

[argent brick]

I did nothing to my brick today, but I did take the time to order a new turn signal:)

[sh00ter]

Changed my own tire solo for the first time!   The biggest thing i learned was you can't skip the windex/soapy water on reinstallation DAMHIK

The old one was cupping and down to the TWI in many places


Used ride-on sludge


naked rim


just after the bead popped

New progressive suspension 465 series rear shock. Noticed throttle is pretty sticky. Hard to say from where though, almost seems like its at the TBs themselves. Shot springs with a bit of Rost Off, Checked inside cam disc mechanism, grease is definitely old and crusty, will have to clean that out. Throttle cable has been on the to-do list anyway.

New shock makes a world of difference.  :2thumbup: Now i just need to make the time to do a fork service and install the new Progressive Suspension fork springs. Underdamping on the front end is suddenly obvious with the nice new rear end.

Noticed throttle is pretty sticky. Hard to say from where though,

Mine got so sticky I was obliged to find the problem, pulled the grip off and there was a 25yr build up of glop on the bar.  Cleaned it all up and good as new.

This fiberglass box collects air from the left NACA scoop and directs it along the fuel rail tube. The fuel pressure regulator is repositioned also.The cover for the collection box is off to show the arrangement. The fuel tank stays cool now...finally. (The picture needs to be rotated 90 degrees  clockwise)

The dark green rubber baffle made a huge difference in heat on my left calf and ankle.

Guys, you're all complaining for nuthin'. Really.

Here in Quebec I'm paying 546$ CAD (FIVE HUNDRED FIFTY GODDAMN SIX) dollars PER YEAR for title, registration, and our public insurance system.

The bike's a 86 K75C.

A "sport" bike is 1100$.

On top of that I have to insure it privately for the thing itself and personal liability.

Stop whining ;)

[Rick G]

I am in much the same price range here and Queensland is one of the cheaper states. New South Wales pays about twice as much.
If we have a solo seat the insurance part is about half  so that makes the overall cost about two thirds of a dual seat.

Over the weekend I installed the lower mounting plates for the engine guards on my '85 K75C.  Turns out I didn't have the special tapped head bolts to attach the upper end of the engine guards.  On order from the dealer.

Changed oil/filter, transmission fluid, and final drive fluid.  Best thing I did was change out the front brake fluid.  It was nasty.  The rubber expansion gasket in the MC was toast also.  Dealer had one in stock.  All back together and working well.

Also installed a Reynolds rack.  Took a while to figure out how it installed, but all is good.  Very solid.  I will shortly be putting the 22L tank box in the classifieds.
