Re: Sargent seat, how much rise from original?

I had the same problem you've described with the forward sliding, Just a 25 mile ride was enough, thighs were aching too..
You will LOVE your new seat...Ride Safe..

Brake Fluid or Silicon oil Packet

calipers soon to be rebuilt. Included was a packet of silicon oil. Should I use it, or just brake fluid?

Re: Front Caliper Swap Question

Tower.. I'm thinking along those lines too..The line from the reservoir goes back towards the module & not directly to the calipers.
I think I'll PM the guru.
