For Swap: Brembo Caliper

I have a right side Brembo caliper as used for replacement on Darmahs (forward mount). It has the central bleed screw as opposed to the 2 bleeders. It is NOS-never used. Would like to swap it for a left side caliper same condition. PM or email at sberry@mchealthystart.org Thanks! Scott

Help Finding a Mechanic

I know I should be able to do the mechanical (valve shims) myself, but I'm lazy and have been spoiled by the simplicity of my smokers. Does anyone know of a good bevel mechanic in South Florida? I'm on the east side of the state in Stuart (an hour and a half north of Ft. Lauderdale). I'm familiar ...

Darmah Front Forks Problem/Fix

I have a 78 Darmah with 24K miles. I noticed the right front fork was acting strangely while powering through a right sweeper. Since it was time to change the fork oil, I decided to remove them both to check the travel. Ceriani forks. Found that the piston at the top of the stem that bolts to the ...

Front Axel Nut Torque Setting

On a 78 SD Darmah, what is the torque setting for the front wheel spindle nut? How about the clamp bolts?

Fork Question

Anyone know a source for those nylon rings that go on the damper piston? I'm running a 78 Darmah. Marzocchi forks (says the dust cover).

Strange Sound

OK, I know this is weird, but here goes...........When I'm coming to a stop on my 78 Darmah, I hear this sound that sounds like a chicken quietly clucking. No joke, and no, I'm not driving by a chicken farm! I honestly can't tell if its coming from the front, middle, or back. Any ideas?
