thats pretty neat... what is the line bolted to on the master cyl. by you foot?

JohnnyP · 04-11-2007, 12:51 PM

Its bolted to where the resivior cap used to be, just like HB's for big bikes....I also had to weld up the brake fluid sight window...It is a bitch to bleed thou as there are no bleed nipples anywhere in the system...

Brent878 · 04-11-2007, 03:14 PM

I can help you with info but unless you send me your parts your the one that would have to "hook it up".....Its very simple, same idea as a big bike HB setup, tap the front master line into the rear masters res....And you also have to plug the sight window up as it will not hold the pressure...I made a cap and TIG welded it onto the master....Hardest part is bleeding it....

in your plug you welded in you should have added a bleeder screw.

I don't think that would of worked...unless you were trying to empty the master cylinder.....

turboglenn · 04-15-2007, 11:08 PM

what about installinga bleeder valve in the top of the caliper or at the top of the master? we've had to drill and tap some of the custom brake setups at work for bleeders on some of the custom big brake setups we've built

MiniRacer153 · 04-19-2007, 11:36 PM

That thing is sick, looks cool too.

stik__boy · 04-20-2007, 06:09 AM

a couple ideas... first.... nearly any rear brake mc should work... and most DONT have a site window on them..... thats actually kind of weird.... anyway...... the also make bleed nipples that are the mc banjo bolt. it just has a bleeder nipple in the end of it. i just hooked up a "thumb brake" set up on my klx roadracer..... im heavy footed as all hell and useless with the rear brake, (all i seem to do is lock it up!!) so i decided to try a set-up that might allow me to be more sensitive. problem is the leverage of the foot pedal is so much more than that of a hand lever..... so i dont get much pull for my effort. going to try a hydo set up on my kx65 rr though.... i'll post pics.
