De-linking the brakes on 04 VFR800

Just finished removing the linked brakes and must say it is a worthy mod! Anyone else done this? What are your views on the linked brakes? I have all the specs for the needed parts, lines, plugs etc... :thumbsup:

 

How about an "how thread" if ya have pictures, part numbers and so on. I like the LBS but am sure many would love to see what was involved.

 

Been There,Done That.

I removed the LBS system from my 6th gen. '03 VFR800 four years ago Maxim68. Plain and simply stated,I saw no advantage to it. You can see a few pics of my bike in my post "Pics of My '03 VFR800 Jokermobile" in the VFR General Discussions Photo Gallery.

Mello Dude had a cool solution to removing the LBS system from his 5th gen. '98 VFR800 that you might want to check out as well. You can find his "A Gearhead's Brake Delinking Saga" post in the How To Articles Forum,under Brakes and Tires. Grab yourself a bag of chips and something to drink,because it's a very entertaining read.

 

my view is:

 

Does de-linking the brakes kill the ABS system?

 

What is ABS? :biggrin:

Just curious maxim what was your main reason for wanting to delink?

 

A required mode for those that like to do burnouts

 

ya i think your right LOL cant see any other reason for de linking other than to shave a few pounds

 

Hahaha! The only response I have to that is:



** Sometimes it's good to have a tire on it's last legs :thumbsup:

 

Hey if you can afford the tires and your not doing it in the middle of the street have fun.
