Hey guys. took my 1981 special over to stove praire road . its a long twisty mountain road. wanted to see how bike would handle. It was fun until i had to stop.. not good. took front wheel apart yesterday. my bad!! I had packed the worm gear for speedo cable full of grease. It was all over inside of hub. oops. so got everything cleaned up. then roughed up the pads with 60 grit paper. test ride tonight...... uh ok better yea but still not good guys, back break is about the same. Gonna take back break apart next i guess. ...40 years later is there a break pad that will grip better. get better grip?? plenty of life left on the pads.. pretty hard to go from 45 mph to a 15 curve right now.
