Oh well, if this doesn't work I'll just ditch one front disc and caliper i guess.. or slaughter the stock master cyl and rework it completely to fit..
I was kind of thinking for a second or two about lever ratio versus stroke length.. really not an engineer so i go by guesstimations! All thats needed to try this shit out now is the braided lines i ordered last week, a double banjo coupling, and drilling out the handlebar to accomodate the indian brass meathooks.der_nanno said:Because (funnily enough) they actually do. I'm running the same brakes on my TR1 and in connection with braided brake hose a 14mm m/c turned out as the weapon of choice. Everything smaller, was too soft. That said, considering the fact that you'll loose a bit of force due to friction, I would go down to a 13mm m/c or a 1/2" anyway. Then again, you can always increase the length of the lever to increase the amount of force transmitted.

P.S.: ... that's one sick build.
