    Brake level slack?

    On my Super Tenere, the end of the front brake lever has about 1" movement for full braking (and about 1/2 inch before braking begins). I did an initial bleed, but that didn't help. Before I do a more aggressive bleed, how is the front brake level movement for others? As I have multiple...

    Mod to AltRider side stand switch guard.

    The front tab on the AltRider side stand switch guard was a little too close to the engine case for my taste. Bent it 90 degrees and ground it down a little. Can't tell from the picture, but the side stand switch cable is about an inch from the guard itself.
