remove abs and servo

Post by bubsees »

looking to remove the abs and servo off of a 2002 1150r and take brakes back to normal, brake lines are all original so hoping to replace them with s/s braided ones, anybody know the best place to buy the bits to do this ? uk based suppliers would be best to save on shipping costs....... read a few of the posts on this and although not an engineer seems to be something i could probably do myself, anybody got any views on that ....... thanks.

You can review my write-up in the Rockster section, but - considering the simplicity of the job for your Roadster- suggest instead that you read through the following:

While you're messing with the plumbing, the upgrade to better brake lines is strongly recommended. Even used steel braided OE brake lines from later model year R1150R bikes would be an improvement over your 2002 lines.
