My master brake cylinder was full of not very clear brownish brake fluid. So, I removed all the fluid and cleaned the inside of the master cylinder. That way, I had clean 'clear' brake fluid for a good flush of the system while bleeding it. I'm pretty sure the so called brake fluid that was in my system was near original and very contaminated.

Hey guys! Been out of it for a while...
Have a vibration issue. Front End shaking like the palsy at around 55-65. Not DW, just a vibration. I know i could be many things. Just thought I would gather some opinions.... Good to be back.

Welcome back. Tires would be my first guess. Maybe some weights fell off?

I agree. I run 4.88 on 35's and on 33's your rpms will be way high.
