Hi, Yes, it really helps. Made mine up from Goodridge pipe and fittings. My levers pull up SOLID with about 3/4in (max) lever end movement. Fit some descent pads too, I use DP and think they are about as good as you can get ( tried EBC Kevlar, carbon etc) I use the Pro MX pads on the rear and they realy bite but have good feel off road. ( the lable on the Pro MX says dooo not use for rear brakes! Regards Brian A14 D17

Hi Larry, I made my own up because a back order for ready made was runing over a month and the Goodridge bits were available like now. Just the 2 lines, 4 banjo fittings and new copper washers. They just screw together. I used a coupole of "P" clips to hold them secure as you do not get the stock outer covering to fit stock brackets. I just used a dose of common sense (what motor cycles are all about!) They work great for me. Cost about $86 for both. They are stainless braided and covered with a clear plastic coating. The banjos are chromed. I think stainless and aloy anodised should be available. You could also check out Aeroquip fittings (used in arospace and racing too ( the same size as our brake lines are certified at 3,000 psi!)) Regards, Brian A14 D17

List: Today I was told by the service manager at the local Kawasaki dealer that I should consider using foam donuts instead of tubes in my tires for my Americas Motopaseo next year to eliminate flat tire problems. He said they come in different densities (soft-hard)for different conditions. Does anybody know if this is strictly a race item or is it a viable alternative worth consideration for adventure touring? If so, where do I get them? If they can be used, would the same density be used front and rear? I'm guessing my tour will be 80% highway and 20% other (gravel, dirt, mud or sand). Furthermore, would the use of foam donuts be a serious consideration when choosing which tires to use with them? I would think so. Give me some feedback. Lew Waterman Punky & Lew's Americas Motopaseo
