According to my local dealer and his race crew, Mercedes-Benz makes an awesome brake fluid. They are changing my SH lines over now for some custom-made braided lines, and they are going to drop in the MB fluid. We'll see how it works...

Maybe I should try the K-Y!....
Seriously, I just got the bike back today. I was babying it coming home, as it has new tires (PP 2CTs) in addition to the new brake lines. Nevertheless, talk about a difference...with the new lines and fluids, I'm pretty sure I could do a stoppie with just one finger on the front brake...not that I'm going to try.

Yeh, she's pretty quick on her CBR600..I'll try to keep up.
We're headed up to the mountains weekend after next, for some real curves. She's itching to get the CBR up there...not that I'm complaining. We're taking her CBR, the SH and also the GB500. I can't wait to get the GB up there. Its old school cafe racing style, and ought to be fun taking it up and hanging out with it at the Gap!
Stay safe, bro!
