What do you take me for, an amateur? Okay, well you should....but my dad told me he started doing this when he was 14.

Here are the fancy carb rebuilding tools we used:



We took a pin through every jet and did reverse flow on every passage way. We ain't foolin' around Dave-O.

We didn't take the oil filter off yet. That's next week.

No, I am totally messing with you! More than anything I am just proud that I can say, "I already did that, chump!"

Congrats Heather Very cool you get to do this with your dad & hubby. Nice to see you working on a classic ( or two )

On the front caliper, if the piston is 1.502" in diameter and 1.380" in length, the K&L part is described as
BCP-102
BRK CALIPER PISTON
32-1168


I modify these Honda parts to fit the Kawasaki triple front calipers since the diameter is the same and they are just a "touch" too long.
