The full fingers brake lever on my Honda Grom wasn't feeling correct. I was about to order an adjustable 2-finger lever, but first looked into my moto parts drawer. I found an unused 2-finger lever for Suzuki DRZ400. It fit perfectly, same dimensions and is more adjustable \o/ :)

Q. Do all Japanese bikes use the same levers??

Replaced my brake lever hoods because they were becoming too loosey goosey. Serious hand work out. I watched some YouTube videos that used hand sanitizer as a lubricant. My local bike shop recommended not to use hand sanitizer, but to immerse the new hoods in hot tap water. Instead of those suggestions, I used my wife's blow dryer. That worked really well. New hoods are on nice and tight.

'The brake is bound to grow in favor. Circumstances during the last few weeks force this conclusion upon the students of the cycle trade. Accidents, several fatal ones among the number, have occurred in the East lately and it has been shown that in each case a brake, had there been one attached, could doubtless have averted the fatality. It now apparently remains for a really clever device to be placed upon the market for it to score a great success.'

Hurt my elbow working on ze cars, been half down for a week or two. Miata is rolling for the season again though, helped a buddy out with some brakework. His brakes were making a bit of noise after, which we narrowed down to stretched lug bolts.

A torque wrench for those seasonal tire changes might be in his future! :)

@edbott Except this rule would not have applied to the train in Ohio, even if the regulation has gone into effect.

@parkermolloy The NTSB chairman tweeted that the ECP regulations would not have applied to this particular train, and would not have prevented or lessened the impact. Homendy then tweeted: "That leads me to my last point: anyone speculating about what happened, didn’t happen, or should've happened is misleading a suffering community -- PLEASE STOP SPREADING MISINFORMATION."
