    Was on the way home and the pedal went straight to the floor.................nothing!!! After 6 or 7 hard quick pumps, they came back....kinda. Got it whooed down to a crawl, put it in 1st and limped home at 4 to 5 mph. Shocked Shocked Shocked

    Yes it has the stock single MC and it will be updated now to a 2nd gen MC before it goes back out on the road.

    Finally got to the brakes this weekend......LF slave was the culprit. New slave, flex hose, and fluid change. Must have been screwed up for awhile cause the brakes have never felt this good. Will be doing the same to the RF next weekend, the slave looks to be the same age...........REALLY old, and will change the rear flex hose too, the rear slaves look to be new.

    Ester is back on the road again!! cheers cheers cheers
