Why? because even when it was new it was slated by the uk bike press and its flipping heavy.
I started by running a single piece of goodrich brake hosing from the master cylinder and down to where the orig` rubber hose entered the r/h caliper(you need a m10x1mm banjo bolt), I removed the abs rings from the front and rear discs also removing the ridges on the rear alloy disc carrier to allow the wider rear wheel I have to slot in with only a bit of persausion.
Then I removed the rear brake hose and the very heavy abs regulator and replaced with goodrich-new copper washers everywere-
Then I removed the rear abs regulator, I cut through the metal pipes that run the length of the bike and removed them from the front of the bike( a lot of force and swearing).
Really easy to bleed the system.
The result-much better brake feel and they do work,before i was always wondering if they were going to stop me, the other thing is it feels soooo much lighter-really notice it.
