Re: 74 R90/6 Master Cylinder Switch
I noticed on one of Brooks videos that the brake pressure switch wiring comes out of the main harness at the same point as the m/c float switch wiring, but my harness doesn't have any wiring for the pressure switch. I thought I might have some remaining wiring cutoff from this point. This is clearly...

Re: Beware Of EnDuraLast Cables For R75/6
I recently had a similar problem with a new brake cable on my 74 R90/6 project. A little too short to reach the master cylinder lever. I eventually figured out the that the cable end (nipple?) wasn't seating fully into the old original barrel. This is all hidden inside the brake lever so you can't s...

Fixing a Bent /5 Clutch & Brake Lever Perch
Hi. New member here. Name is Mark and I live 40 miles west of Chicago. I'm restoring a '74 R90/6. As you probably know, the early R90/6 used /5 style lever perches. I removed the clutch and throttle perch and right away I noticed the P.O. had lost the little wedges from both perches. So now the hand...
