| Sorted rear brake.  Well, I have sorted my rear brake on my 748/996. As I have posted up before after observing the rear master cylinder in action when the rear pedal is depressed............. I was shocked at the amount of movement of the rear master cylinder situated on the standard bracket. I found this bracket to be extremly flexy when under pressure from the brake pedal. So have added a bracing plate that is made from alloy that all the rear brake fittings bolt to. This in turn then bolts to the engine casings as standard. The brace plate also incorporates the bracket that holds the fixing to the cross over pipe.  Rubber washers included.After road testing the bike today in sunny cornwall, I found the back brake to be MUCH MUCH improved. I can use the rear brake now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!All I got to do now is alloy polish it or perhaps get it annodised. Pics to follow............. DC.   |
