Rodburner, that is an awesome deal! I hope it serves you well!

Thanks. I would really only need it one weekend a year [free track day at Portland International] so that my wife could come along and hang out with me and the others. It seems pretty solid.

Can't beat that for 100 bucks - and now you have it, well who knows what other possibilities it opens up?

I continued researching clear or tinted turn signal lenses. Otherwise, I kept it in the garage away from the predicted rain today.

How bad is it? I rode for a couple weeks with a pretty bad pulsating brake. I ended up using the rear for slow speed stops, and only the front for high speed. I found Bike Bandit had the non-floating disc, despite the picture that looks like a floater, for $210, and in stock, shipped in a couple days.

If you can though, hold out for the floater so the problen doesn't come back.

Hi Jim, it is really only noticeable when stopping - very low speed situations. Brent from newbonneville and I were swapping email as the plan was for me to put an EBC floater on my T100 and my disc on this 05 and the EBC is backordered. Because I can't measure well enough on the area that seems to be at issue, I'm going to go ride it hard to see if it will clean up. If it is rust from under the pads - the bike spent the winter in a shed in the shade - then maybe it will clean up. It may not be a warp as much as winter rust. Fingers crossed on this, I'm headed out to ride in the next 1/2 hour.

Coldnight,
Measuring the thickness of the disc in several places will only tell you if the disc is varying in thickness (that will cause pulsing). It could measure relatively the same all the way round, but still be warped. The best way to check for warp is to mount a dial indicator to the fork leg and check the runout as you rotate it as an assembly.

Pendejo is a single pubic hair. In Mexico´s slang it is used as an insult like idiot or fool, but in Peru´s slang it used to describe a smart guy with few or no scruples.
No confies en el. Es un pendejo.

Ordered a steering damper from Royal Enfield. It arrived today but the problem was it was not the same damper they had a picture of in the catalog, the one piece which would have made it easy to install was freaking missing.
Called the place, got handed off to three techs one said they had had some problems with that particular piece and had discontinued it, replacing it instead with a 3/4" x 2" piece of metal which they suggested i "weld" on the bike.
Told them there would be no welding on my bike frame but had the clamp been there as pictured it would have "clamped" to the frame in the first place. After some study I figured out the only possible way it would work as is was to drill a hole in my front upper strut on the sidecar, thus weakening the strut and probably eventually causing it to fail under load. No freaking way, Jose'
Talked to another guy who tried to see if they had a spare clamp around in the back room, no go on that....that guy said, "Oh, just work with it, it will fit somewhere!" I asked him for a RMA number and asked if I had to eat the return shipping cuz of their catalog misrepresention....and was told they would credit the return shipping to my card....
Ordered one from Mike at SelMotion......it's on the way.

A good idea is to use some superfine sandpaper and run it over the disk a few times..that pulsatation could be due to a weird buildup of brakepad material. My buddy did this on a Kawi Concours and the problem immediately went away.
