Topic: Mr. Fish Head Big Brakes?

[Thaddeus Q. Levandoski]

I was just wondering if you still go on this website? Are you still working on brake modifications? Hope so.

Have not seen him here for over a year..

[Thaddeus Q. Levandoski]

Thank you sir. I was wondering if there is a front brake rotor that would fit a Lester wheel with 5 bolt holes that is bigger than stock. A bolt on would be better but I just looking for the easiest way. Thanks in advance

Have you tried a google search?  He used to have his own website.

Pretty sure he's in the great beyond, sorry guys.

[754]

Curious as to why you say that ?
Could be true, i just assumed he got tired of the forum and then realized he could live without it..

[bwaller]

You know the feeling that comes over you when you say something stupid like...how far along are you, when the girl isn't pregnant?

The same thought occurred to me after my post, because I had doubts immediately after, but I fear he did move on.

[scottly]

Sad to hear, if true. Looks like the last time he was online here was 7-27-13....

[754]

Dont feel bad Brent good chance it happened, but i would like to find out.
Anyone remember what town/state he was from ?
I would post a few thoughts about him if he has passed on...

[scottly]

His profile shows Hanover, PA, and his user name on a different forum was dgfischer. His web site is gone, and the link takes you to a page where you can buy the domain name.

I saw a post on Randakks saying his brakes were on his bike... 2015.. Maybe he knew him better than some of us.
I sent an email to the address Randakk listed, did not bounce back yet. Cool little one off distributor Randakk built for a GL..

I knew I had asked him about his photos of different wheels here on the hi-po board a while back, but I had forgotten it was on my own thread...

    Off topic:  Fischer -- are you still doing GL1000 brakes?


Yes

    Also off-topic, where is your photo library of various wheels, Fish? Also, do you have any pics of the bead area of the non-tubeless vs tubeless Comstars?


The wheel page was on my website that I have since gotten rid of.
  I've posted pics of the bead area (tube/tubeless) on here a few times. check my old post(s) for them.

It's been more than a year and his website has been off-line as long.

Bringing an old thread back from the dead....

Actually, I'm still alive and well, just older. I got out of motorcycles when I closed my shop in 2008 and have been playing with "sporting stuff" (Scopes, things that have lead projectiles, etc) since then .
  I stopped making my brake kits about the same time as I closed my shop. I enjoyed making them, but society has gotten "sue crazy" and I didn't need to put my neck on the chopping block as a result of someone who doesn't do the proper maintenance on their bike or brakes and their failure  would/could be considered my "fault". I never had any problems with my kits, but I didn't need to put my neck on the chopping block anymore.
  I still have my Dunstall CB 750, but I haven't ridden it in years. I'm too old to ride in the tucked cafe position now and just drive around in a cage.

Wow, what a blast from the past!! Glad to hear you're still sucking air, Fish.
