Lucifer's upgrade thread
well been about 5 months since i've ridden and now i'm going riding twice in the next few weeks, so it's time to get ole Lucifer ready.
immediately pulling in the shop i noticed a green puddle, so i guess i'm gonna have to look for a leak, hopefully just a hose. i might just make a whole new set because i noticed some pretty thinned out rub marks that i zip tied another piece of hose to for a rub guard. so maybe i'd be best off to change them out.
yhe big deal for me is the brakes right now. although they work, the issue is the second master for the polaris tranny brake. the rod system i made seemed clever enough but is flawed. if i adjust for more tranny brake the pedal is stiff and i lose the joyner wheel brakes. the opposite adjustment gives me more wheel brake but i'm doubtful the tranny brake is even working. so i'm going to eliminate it. the plan is put a 2nd joyner style master in the middle of the peddles and run a line to the tranny brake and run 2 extra calipers on the rears beings the joyner trailing arms have a 2nd set of ears. that way deploy the brakes it's all push and not push/pull. hopefully this will go as smooth as it does in my head.
we shall see.
