Re: R1150RT mods

[Robert Silas <robert.silas@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I also have a K75s which is used by my son, only if and when he rides with
me, and after installing braided hose for the front he was complaining that
he feels the unevenness of the rotors very much. Eventually we changed back
to original hose and he maintains that braking has again a lot more feel to
it.  The K75 has no ABS.

Happy New Year
