Did you manage to find a different m/c? Just been out for a quick test ride on the other halfs rap before it's MOT tomorrow and the back brake is terrible!!!

You mean more hours of fun with hands covered in brake fluid!

Have spent ages trying to get the rear brake working properly and it's still a load of poop!

Cheers for the link will maybe have a go at it at the weekend. While i'm here anyone know what size the banjo bolt/switch is in the rear m/c?
