Need help in las vegas

[triwinggirl]

the front fenders, calipers and brake lines tucked in is finished, hopeing to get help tomorrow to finish the brake line connections and replace the bad brake line parts.

 

[triwinggirl]

good news, i was right about the over tightened brake lines, the lines and the connecting parts were badly damaged. all fixed now, the rear lines are mounted and tight. the front lines mounting hole needs a heli coil. but they are all routed and connected just 1 hole to fix and its time to bleed.

GREAT NEWS

GREAT NEWS

all the mechanical assembly is finished. all the brake lines are routed and connected tight. all other cables lines and hoses on the neck are routed and secured. the steering stabalizer is installed and functions properly. now i can bleed we just ran out of steam and time today. but we are ready. :clapping:

I did not like routing the front brake line through the handle bars to much kinking, it is very comfortable with the throttle cables does not kink, rub or twist or bend now.:clapping:

update

as can be seen in my latest post about my clutch master cylinder, im waiting for parts again. 2 master cylinder rebuild kits 1 front brake and 1 clutch. might as well do them both. I apparently need a clutch slave unit as well, it comes complete with all parts not just a rebuild. so it seems im waiting on parts again and spending yet another $200 on my girl JOY. WOW is she expensive to keep. might be cheaper if I gold plated her. :xzqxz: at least she will be all new and totally functional should get a few more years out of her.

 

[triwinggirl]

another update made decision

well i went out side and checked the front brake master, it actually still had clean fluid in it after being off the bike and disconnected for 3 months. by the way the front brake lever is not pushing fluid into the lines which means no leaks. i think im going to rebuid it anyway its only $12. i decided to replace the clutch hose as its only $22, its a 16 year old hose full of guu. all the other lines are new might as well. i decided to just buy the internal parts for the clutch slave which saves me money and the kit includes parts i dont need. this should still give me a new clutch. good thing i got lots of line sealing washers. i never intended this much work, but i think it will be better and safer in the end. im sure of one thing when im done I wont be fixing any of these things for a long time.:clapping:

 

[1dn5up]

Keep goin girl, ya gota have brakes :clapping:Not too much to the master cyl. O-rings and miss stuff. Seems like the end is near ,!

 

[triwinggirl]

good news and bad news

the good news is I got my clutch parts, I should have what I need to finish JOY.

the bad news is she's in my drive way or outside. we have cold weather here now and I have no help again.

:xzqxz:

Hang in there girl. You come this far you will get er done.

Progress update

I have functional front brakes now. im replacing the clutch master cylinder and the slave. the new clutch line is in place and should not prevent further progress. my current plan is to order needed clutch parts, then install later.

the next thing is to bleed the rear brakes, and fix any line leaks once that is finished and I have functional rear brakes I will button up the radiators and fill them.

the parts im waiting for will not prevent me installing the main stay, connecting the electrical or installing the body. so once I have rear brakes and button up the radiators I will install the body.

so much for wanting the clutch working first.

 

[Jack Klarich]

Good progress

Stick with it

GREAT NEWS

IT'S OFFICIAL

I have functional front brakes pressure tested. I have functional rear brakes now, being pressure tested. yu know when you hold pressure overnight to make sure no leaks, so far no leaks, pressure at the pedal and lever. no rolling test yet.:clapping:

next I reinstall the main stay, connect the electrical, then reinstall the body and seat.:clapping:

at that point im waiting on clutch parts and finished clutch repair. :clapping:

1 day to install body. 1 day for clutch after getting parts.:clapping:

then JOY is back on the road.:clapping:

I am so glad I was right about my friend over tightening the brake lines. the new ones tightened properly are not leaking.:clapping:

pics soon of joy with her new body on.:clapping:

 

[Gorilla]

Nice JOB and we are waiting to see the pictures of your PROUD rebuild.

 

[Jack Klarich]

Good deal

Looking forward to pics of you and Joy on the road again:clapping:

(I have functional front brakes pressure tested. I have functional rear brakes now, being pressure tested. yu know when you hold pressure overnight to make sure no leaks, so far no leaks, pressure at the pedal and lever. no rolling test yet)

The over night pressure on test is a good one I have used for years

Not only for checking leaks, but it holds for a last bleed off before a test ride

 

[triwinggirl]

QUESTION

so I should bleed them again before riding?

 

[Jack Klarich]

QUESTION

so I should bleed them again before riding?

Nah, unless it gives u more peace of mind

If your brakes are tight now u should be good to go

You can always bleed again any time

 

[triwinggirl]

I lost my helper why do they steal?

I did get the radiators on and filled. I got the main stay on and I can connect the wiring myself I hope. the body I have to have help with, so im on hold again. here is a pic of how far I got before I caught him stealing from me.:gah::xzqxz:

[trike lady]

That's sad when people have to steal. God will send you someone to help you complete the trike. I like the two tone pink I see so far, excellent job. At least one of us got the pink trike.

 

[slug]

You have been doing great so far. Keep up the good work.

Hydraulics work

I could not sit here and not try to install the new clutch parts, after all they are basically plug and play.:gah:

so GOOD NEWS:clapping:

I have a working clutch and im getting better using the vacuum bleeder.:clapping:

im hoping I can get help soon with the lower body, things to line up and plug in. im only able to do so much and installing the clutch wore me out. I should be able to finish the rest by my self if I have to.:xzqxz:
