Chasing a brake bleed problem

<< < (2/3) > >>

Good find Trig. I have noticed on my most recent build that many pattern parts have gone really shit. So much so that some of them aren't worth making as they just end up scrap. Control cables being a case in point.

Off to a customer tomorrow to replace the brake switch on a bike that i sold and now the customer is having brake problems. DSS has a lot to answer to.

I don't think they care mate. I have offered to analyse stuff in the past to endorse the repro rubber engine/inlet rubber/airbox parts they sell  by getting chemical analysis done but you just hit a brick wall ..like " Materials used are our suppliers / our commercial information". So I voted with my feet on their repro rubber parts.

I bought a set of handle bar grips from them for the CD175 sloper.
Cut the old ones off and came to fit the new ones and the throttle one was incorrect and way too small.
I rang them up and explained that the sloper has a metal tube which goes over the cable control and the grip needs to be much larger to fit this.
They didn't seem interested and said that the part was correct, well when the guys ear had stopped bleeding he took the measurements of my old one and managed to get the correct part as it is used on other models.
GUESS WHAT THE INCORRECT PART IS STILL FOR SALE ON THEIR WEB SITE.
Not interested in changing it, so beware anyone buying the grips for a CD175 sloper THEY DO NOT FIT >:( >:( >:(

I'm not 100% sure but the thread on the oil pressure switch looks to be the same as the brake light switch, maybe one of those could be adapted to suit if a genuine switch proves illusive.
