I would like to have that little front fender for road trips. The 140 kicks up some chit! Anybody know who makes it? If not, I may just cut on my Milwaukee Iron one or I may just forget about about it.

Hey Ash, the owner of that train is Rocker Dan on the forums. He doesn't have the train any more however. I've asked him a few questions before but never about the front fender. If you ask and find out, post it up!!

Well I just got my new handlebars installed, 14". Next thing is to black out the levers, new lights and new black front forks.

The Indy installed a floating rotor and it looks pretty slick.

The only issue I have is that after I started using the front brake, it started to squeak loudly during movement when NOT braking. The noise goes away whenever I apply the brake, even slightly pulling the lever. Could the pads not be releasing all of the way and slightly touching, causing the squeak?

This is my first brake change job and perhaps this could be normal behavior for the first several miles until they settle in?

The mechanic is closed now until Monday so I'll of course give him a ring then, but I thought I'd ask here first.

BTW, this mechanic really impressed me. He adjusted my throttle cable and straightened my handlebars - which were slightly off, something I noticed when I bought this Night Train but hadn't got around to yet.

Hey Blind, it may settle in and go away if both the pads and rotor are new. If it continues just pull the caliper off, take the pads out and clean the pistons with some brake cleaner.

+1

The pistons on the stock calipers are not sealed. Brake dust and road grime collects on them and over time prevents them from fully retracting. Pull the caliper, remove the pads and extend the pistons a bit. Then take a shoelace soaked in brake cleaner and floss the pistons. Makes a huge diference, no more pad drag!
