Re: Brake lines, pads & fluid
Thanks for all the help! I'll take the lever apart and grease before buying bits. Although Wicky is right about the standard pads still in there 8O so I've ordered some EBC sintered :thumbup: I've been thinking about one of these http://www.moorespeedracing.co.uk/honda-top-yoke-conversion-kits/vtr10...

Re: Brake lines, pads & fluid
Cheers Wicky, I'll do the pads & see what happens. It'll be a couple of weeks until I can afford to do the lines, fluid, & master cylinder service anyway. ![Thumbup :thumbup:](./images/smilies/icon_thumbup.gif)

Re: A not so Newbie saying hello!
As I'm sure you may have seen, after trawling through old posts...! There are a couple of options, VFR bars can fit with a couple of mods, later VTR bars have less drop & top yoke conversions for a fully upright riding position are available. None of these mods seem expensive or difficult. :thum...

Re: first vtr 1000 new member
It would be worth popping a bit of 8mm aluminium rod into your new Honda CCT's as a fail safe, I.e "the stopper mod".

Re: Brake lines, pads & fluid
Sounds like your master cylinder might need a rebuild also. :wink: Thanks :thumbup: do you think the judder is the feeling of fluid passing through a worn master cylinder component? If so... eBay View item: Fits Honda VTR 1000 F5 2005 (1000 CC) - Front Master Cylinder Kit Would this cure my ails?? ...

Brake lines, pads & fluid
Hi chaps, After a great ride from Essex, down to Hastings and around the South Downs I gave my bike a good road test, also was a good chance to make sure all my work was sound, all good here! As I pushed the bike harder and asked a little more from the handling components, I started to feel a judder...
