    What make?

    Do they fit without modification to the Brake lines?

    Links?

    Cheers Colin, finally someone who can give a useful answer to my Q.
    I assume your statement "no modification to the brake switch" also applies to the lines?
    i.e. the Brake system is ENTIRELY untouched bar de-mounting and remounting bracketry?
    How much were they Col and where from?


    @ Swiss T, adding a pressure switch banjo is a modification to the lines and thus requires a Bleed!
    This aint happening, thanks anyway.

    @ Barry, your bike is not an ABS so is not relevant to the question, but thanks anyway.

    I beg to differ sinewave, the BIG give away that my bike is a C-ABS model apart from what is on my log book, is the bronze colour calipers (fitted to c-abs models only), the large bulge under the riders seat, the c-abs pipework on the side of the panel under the riders seat and to finish it off, look just behind the front of the exhaust down pipes and you will see the front power unit for the c-abs system!!!!!! I'm just the owner, so what would I know!!!!!! :rolleyes:

    In that case it would be Gilles Rearsets.

    Having now got my ABS working reliably (for now) I aint having it 'opened' up again in my ownership.

    Don't even use it that much so wondering whether it's even worth the hassle.

    But who said a whole abs bleed would be required in order to fit the hydraulic brake switch?

    Any rear sets I have seen that integrate the standard type brake switch always boosted the prices and there are not that many manufacturers making them with the integrated type switch!

    Even less people that are not willing to swap to the hydraulic switches if they are wanting to change out to aftermarket rear sets.
