I'm afraid you'll need to remove me from the list. I sold the 907 a couple of years ago, but I can't remember the name of the chap who bought it. I think he posted on here once or twice and then disappeared.

addendum. Found him. Duc888

He doesn't appear to be an active forum user though.

Thanks paso750.

ok. The general consensus appears to be that there never was any means of securing the battery on the 907, so I shall cease to concern myself about it.
Thank you all for your very useful comments.

Thanks for your reply ducinthebay. I have the 'alternative' list printed out (somewhere!) I want to keep the original look of the bike as much as I can, so I'll be fitting the discs with the gold coloured carriers. I see that Stein Dinse in Germany sell the brake pads with the little spring attached...

Thanks for the reply paso750 . Oh, how very odd! :huh: All my bikes have had a means of holding the battery securely in place, usually a rubber strap under tension. In fact, I think it might be an MOT failure (in the UK) to not have an appropriate means of holding the battery securely in place, in c...

I've tested the brakes on my bike. When I removed the pads for inspection, they had distinct grooves in them; Two grooves on one side of the wheel and three grooves on the other side. Time to replace the discs. I've been looking. I need to take the front wheel off to measure accurately, but they loo...

The battery strap is the one thing that is missing from my 1991 907ie, so I need to get a compatible one that will do the job.
Anybody got a photo of one in situ, please?

Thanks in advance.

- - - - and now the rear brake disc is fitted - AND the front brake light switch!
Cripes, so much progress.
Time to start putting its clothes back on, I feel.

Well, the seal kit, from powerhouse-uk, via ebay, (thank you paso750 :thumbup: ) seems to have done the trick. There is now minimal binding between the new brake pads and the brake discs. Pretty much what I was hoping for all along. I haven't ride-tested the brakes yet; Too cold, wet, even snowy :( ...

Make sure that the screw in the lever that sets the distance of master cylinder pushrod isn't in too far. If it is screwed in too far to reduce the free play the piston doesn't fully return, blocking the bleed hole that allows the fluid back to the reservoir. The result of this is that the system r...

I find repair kits for the PS12, 13 and 15 brake master cylinder but not for the PS16. Wonder what the difference between a PS15 and PS16 is as the piston that comes with the PS15 kit is 15,84mm diameter x 65mm length. (BREMBO REF. 110273920) Finding a new Brembo PS16 master cylinder is not a probl...

paso 750 I cleaned the brake parts with paraffin, using an old (soft bristle) tooth brush. Yes, I did lubricate the pistons with rubber grease. I had already changed the brake lines to a two-line set, cutting out the splitter. These are all jobs I've done before on other motorcycles, so I'm comforta...

O.K. Thanks Duc. I took apart the calipers, stripped out the seals and cleaned everything, and reassembled the calipers I'm still not happy with the braking action though. The pistons don't seem to retract properly when I release the brake lever. As a result, I have ordered the seal set shown in the...

Crikey, how ever do you manage to remember such information? However, many thanks for your informative reply. The ebay seal kit looks to be right, so I'll probably bite the bullet and go with that. I must say that it is most gratifying to be back doing stuff to the 907. I'm hoping to get it on the r...
