Need help again
Is there a way to have rear brakes.....
But get rid of the reservoir and not have to worry about the brakes locking up?

total what are you getting at, do you want to hide the res or get rid of it altogether

you can get rid of the res, run a small piece of clear poly pipe from the res input on the rear master cylinder and use as res.

its a pain in the arse to fill, and you have to keep an eye on the level as you only have about 1/10th of the fluid reserve you had. i have only ever done it to fronts with remote reses but the back would be the same principle, as i said, not a realy good idea though.

I've got a tube on mine, with the rear brake off a 916. Works fine, looks great:D

Deano, ben did it for me. it's an acrylic plug with a groove machined into it so the cable tie's got something to bite into.

A custom set from Ben. Same position as the originals,just a hell of a lot nicer, with oberon pegs from qikdraw. Ben also mounted the gear shift from in front of the peg (so it's a short throw lever)from the holes in the sprocket cover. I'll see if i've got a photo.

That's dead trick, more nice work from Benno.
All you GSXRites should be doing that.

I saw it on a few gixers in streetfighters mag,and since I was planning on new rearsets.... Exben did a great job. Gear shifts are better than before, too.
