i want one too, as never use my rear brake at the mo

Have one fitted:


What do you want to know? are you going to run it with standard rear caliper or AP/Brembo?:


Now if changing rear caliper do not expect it to be as good as standard, mine just get threw MOT but this is not an issue with me as never really use rear brake. Anymore question just ask away.

Something diffrent.

What size is it 11mmm or 13mm?
Did you have any problems running such a long brake line?

Think ill get one just for the hell of it.
Gloves on the way.

Had no problem with Brake line just made one to messure, as for size haven't a clue as Racefit lads gave me Thump Brake. When you say 11mm or 13mm what does this refer too?? Was offered a nice AP thumb brake but that was a couple off hundres £'s and could not justify that for something I do not use (but maybe this winter  )

11 or 13 refers to m/c bore size.

to do with pressure/lever travel. (11 = more pressure but more travel needed to get it)

i've got a 13 on mine, not tried an 11 was going to change to an 11 over winter to try it out next year.
m/c's can be bought seperately for about 50 notes as most aftermarket ones consist of a clamp with either an 11 or 13 bore brembo rear m/c as used on italian bikes.

brembo race and ap ones are one piece billet units that have adjustble ratio built in but start at £700 plus and thats second hand sometimes for the brembos!
