Good luck with that brembo bastard...I'm pulling the whole front braking system and bench testing the mother.
There is no way there's any air in the bastard but I've spent the last two days at the creek comparing lever travel and I'm not happy.

Specially the 11th being Honda Day.

Mines rock solid. Maybe you should try riding the bike with the thing first and then see how you go.
It really is difficult to get a sense of performance from your Moto GP lab.....:dance:

Riding it will pump any air pockets out

must be a curse on them, when I was removing the old banjo bolt to install new copper washers
this happened
146 147


not sure if it is possible to replace the banjo or it is a complete new line, have contacted galfer and they are advising whether it is a new line/banjo and whether it is covered under warranty

Far out!! That's not good - I'd be surprised if they didn't warranty that.

Rattle gun - most likely put on with one, so you need one to get it off!!
