    I've tried to use a 14 on a twin RGV setup but the dust seals pull back the pistons too far. Scavenge the best ones out of both calipers cause old ones are worse.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Waiting for a full set of seals to arrive to re furnish the front and rear. There were none in nz so they are coming from Japan. I've got a new braided brake line to chuck on.

    More power and easier to modulate with a smaller master cylinder, the lever travel is the only draw back if ya go too small.

    That's a bonus of radial masters, you can play around with off set from pivot to plunger. MX bikes are getting nice small radial masters these days.

    I don't think that it's about 'thinking more power' it's probably just using what is common for 2 caliper setups on single calipers.

    Cheers.
    For something more permanent check out GN250 masters from TSS, I think they might be 1/2" or close to it and they are pretty damn cheap considering they are new.

    Help

    Hi guys I am after a short length of brass so I can make up a couple of joiners for my radiator hoses which of course are different from the radiator to the water pump. I have a lathe just need some brass.

    hoses are 5/8ths on the Merc and 1/2" on the Honda

    I should have something you can spin up. May not be brass but Ali, Bronze or Stainless

    Tim, I'm auditing a plumbing branch today and tomorrow. I just messaged you a few photos of a reducing fitting which might work for you.
    Let me know.

    I have a good condition set of mc16 fairings (minus front guard) in the shed for a road bike if someone wants them. Make an offer. Wouldn't mind getting the shelf space back
