We bought an old (1985) Honda CB 900 to run parts to the field - actually in great condition. Much cheaper than running a 10 MPG pickup around.
Previous owner put new brakes on the front and rear that's turned into an issue. After he put the brakes on he never rode the bike - he had bought it with the intention to ride but his wife talked him out of it (he was 70 years old). Just sitting the front brake tightens up and eventually its locked. My son thought it was fixed and parked it in our shop and I went to roll it to another spot and couldn't because the front brake had locked up. In order to move the cycle you have to bleed pressure off it. (has twin disks - both brakes tighten) If you bleed it off and take off down the road on it immediately begins to build up pressure and the front brake will lock up - sending the rider over the handle bars (actual event). The temporary solution has been to open the bleeders and just run it with the back brake and no front brake. With all the fluid bled of the front brake doesn't build up pressure. With only the back brake the stopping distances are a bit long and we need to get it working again.
Anyone have an idea what is goin on with this? It is filled with Dot 3 brake fluid - as per the reservoir directions. Right now its empty so it can be used.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
