Howdy Mark, Thanks for the reply...I'll try to make it by this week sometime. Happy New Year!

Of course this is a longshot, but I know there's other machinists on this forum, so I figured it can't hurt to throw it out there. The bike has around 1600 miles, no alarms, LHRB, extra wheels with new (sm and MX) fast charger...and a few spare bits. Not interested in anything but a Hardinge...

oh man....gettin' a chubbie here! Great job!!!

machine itself is a svelte and sexalicious 8400 lbs....c'mon man, you need this!

WTF....advertising machine tools here.....can't hurt I figure. No doubt there's quite a few Alta owners that know their way around CNC machines. Those that don't already have one in their shops need one! This is a turn key machine, move it in, give it some juice and start makin' chips! Comes...

Hi Mark, I'm in Petaluma and have a spare front brake caliper and master (plumbed and ready to bolt on) from an MXR that you're welcome to borrow if its helpful. Excited to see you're in the Alta club now!

I think this is a bike Pal Pinter bought from you. Yes the front brakelight works fine, I figured the CHP check would require that both work.

I've got my MXR ready to try and reg. I took off the rear brake pedal and only use a lhrb now though. Haven't got around to ssussing out the easiest way to get the brake light to work with it though. Any quick cheap 'n dirty ideas?

damn...now I need a gold wing!

I'm loving the LHRB! Right back to my bicycle days, always had the front brake on the right. Now I want it on my KTM street bikes!

You mean Bungee Mordecai Gitane...of Bullet Enterprises ("si havas la monen, ni havas la tempon")...no, don't know the guy, sorry..... Just kidding...I haven't seen that gent in so damn long! What a guy....maybe even an enigma! Love him! Are you still in touch? Specialized!? Who'da thunk? Me...

Howdy, After a bunch of research I decided to ditch the pedal and bought the OEM Alta brake line on ebay and a 9mm matura clutch master. Finding the right master was a bit of a hassle. I ordered the Brembo version from two different vendors only to be told after purchase, it was on back order...

I bought Pal's MXR, great guy and he keeps his bikes immaculate. Good luck on the move Pal!

just oiling my chain to get ready for a little moto action on a neighbor's track and remembered to check the damn creaking from the front end area. Found that the steerer clamp on the top clamp was not tight...not even snug. Tightened it up, checked the fork for free play or binding (none) and...

I'm thinkin' Silent Horse is referring to Mt. St. Helena in Sonoma County, NorCal.

hmm, was just wondering what some creaks from my front end were this morning....a sleuthing I will go.

awesome workstand!!

thanks for the Recluse info, pretty much what I'd determined from my research. I rode bikes, road and MTB for many years (designed & built them too, Salsa Cycles) and always ran a right hand front, rear left set up. So it'll feel like home...then maybe I'll finally get off my butt and put a LHRB...

Thanks guys.....interested in hearing any input on a 9.5 vs. a 9mm piston?
