Im pretty happy with my 92 V4, however as with all the other Yamahas I owned I was never too comfortable with a cable brake.
I have some weird OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) about the cable breaking, so I often "test" the brake before I actually need to apply it.
Now, OCD's rarely are logical by nature, and I know a hydraulic failure is just as possible and likely as a cable failure, but Ive ALWAYS preferred hydraulic brakes. It may just be the security that it gives you because it takes so little effort to stop. (Not that ours are much effort either)
anyway, heres my question... Has anyone ever done an upgrade to hydraulic brakes? there must be a caliper from something out there that could be pretty easily adapted.
Ideas? thoughts? ????? any of which are welcomed by me.
