Re: Horn Dawg Brake Resovior Mod

["Joe Zaccaria" <jzaccaria@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well aparantly Gary is a believer now.  I had Jimmy bleed my brakes
previously which provided marginal improvement.  I didn't bleed the brakes
after elevating the reservoir.  I just took it out and rode it.  After a
couple of stops the improvement worked.

Still it's a whole lot cheaper than a $250 master cylinder.
