Re: [ST] I've got wood !!! (Brake Feel)



I am not sure how I feel about having two brake lines the same length when
they have different distances to travel but that is a small issue.

Very good point about using the long banjo bolt from the front caliper in
the master cylinder.

I have been fiddling with Heli-bar adapters and some conventional handlebars
and will not be fooling with brake lines until and unless I settle on bars
BUT I do intend to convert to the dual line set-up and will report when it
is done.  I have already done so on my ZRX and am very happy with the feel.
