[QUOTE="69ST, post: 186858, member: 5"] A cable-operated disc brake...wow(!). Hey, if it works it works, that's what matters. As for juice-operated disc brakes on these bikes, I think you'd be surprised just how well they've held up, on bikes of this vintage. And service parts are available. I agree with you on the compression. If it'll fire and run, you might get lucky. It very well could improve with some miles. What have you got to lose in the attempt? Worst case, you'd have to overbore or replace the cylinder and give it a valve job...probably one valve only. The rest of the motor should be like new. 123 miles isn't even enough to begin the sludge formation process. [/QUOTE]
