  • Hello Everyone!
    Today's episode focuses on QuaranTina's braking system and it definitely needs it. If you have a project sitting around for a long time, you will probably have to rebuild part or all the braking components.
    Follow along as the calipers, master cylinders and brake lines get the attention they so desperately need. This method of rebuild can be used for any motorcycle out there. Just make sure to find the appropriate parts and rebuild kits!

    Great stuff. I've owned a '79 XS750 for a couple years now which rides super smoooth but its a bit of a rust bucket. I'm finally ready to start restoring it and your series will come in very handy! Thanks for the content.

    So far I'm loving all your quarantina videos! I just picked up a '77 XS750 2D. So these are giving me good ideas as to what I'm in for. She sat for 34 years before I saved her.

      Just watched it! That thing sounds great! - keep that momentum going
      I got the brake lines from mikesxs.com - they sell mostly xs650 stuff but the brake lines worked just fine.

    Great videos! Following this project. Not many XS750-2D 1977 projects out there like my own.

    Just recently got a 79 and I'm trying to get it road worthy. Where did you get the new caliper Pistons?

    • @RicksGarage
      @RicksGarage  Před 2 lety

      I was lucky enough to be able to reuse all the pistons I had - otherwise, I'd be searching through a breaker yard - the good news is that most older yamaha calipers are similar and interchangeable
