Unhappy with the brake feel on the Malossi bike I figured I better do something about it. So I tried adjusting it. This didn’t work out so well. On the test ride the front locked up at a stop light. I had to drag the bike to the sidewalk by lifting the front, park it, walk home about a half mile, get some tools, and walk back in order to free up the front brake. It was a very long walk in full gear!
Making the initial adjustment. I did test it, and it seemed okay, but clearly that wasn’t the case as I would soon find out.
The hang out spot for the bike while I hoofed it to and fro.
I adjusted it again and rode over to Kent’s. This is the first stop on my test loop.
Then I went to Jeff’s for a bit, then Taco Bell, and finally Target before heading home. The front brake is getting close. It has plenty of stopping power, it just needs to get the final adjustment action, and it is nearly there. But man what a walk!!!

Great work on the 75cc Cylinder alternative. How has it been holding up? I am looking for a solution for my 75cc trashed cylinder and this looks like it might work.

The cylinder works, but it is not a proper match. The performance of the bike is better than a non-running bike, but I preferred the stock cylinder experience. This is mostly due to not having lower end power, and even top end power isn’t spectacular. So on these levels it is somewhat disappointing. I expect that with more time I might be able to overcome some of these issues, but I just haven’t had the opportunity to work on it.

It is a little difficult to see due to the bike covers being tossed in there at the end, but there are ten bikes packed into this U-Haul. Can you find them all?

Thats a tight fit! Good luck in the move. On a side note do you know where I can find decals for the 2002 Lorenzo red/black checkered bike? I noticed you have a few.
