Chris.

Yeah they where nice in there time. Power bands really are a thing of the past lol. Dont miss buying the shed loads of 2 stroke oil tho..

As sebs says.
If ur confused they use a double length banjo bolt at the master cylinder connection which allows you to connect two seperate lines to it.

Just read the post and haven't had much experience with v twins I hold my hand up to that. Let's hope ur problem is solved. If it reoccurs I believe I read it started after fuel tank removal? I would possibbly take tap out the tank as normally there's a filter gauze internally that may be choked up ...

Thinking about doing the same mod myself. Brake and clutch lines don't bother me (mate owns hel performance lol) and extending wiring etc doesn't (I'm an auto electrician) but I'm not so keen if the oe throttle cables aren't long enough?

Kev u cheeky sod I'm not from tivvy or have I got webbed feet lol. Yeah will post up some pics but nowt exciting at the mo just a red one with remus pipes apart from some stickers on the front mudguard which are prob being used to cover some scratches or marks lol.
