interesting, I would have thought it would require more force with the smaller cylinder, but i will try this.

Front fitting is oem line going to the Y right to rear brakes, back fitting is coming from brake master cyl. When I pull the handle then hit the brakes it pulls the handle back, I have a bbk and the distance to pull the handle to lock seems ok.

the rear brakes are completely stock with ebc green stuff pads
