so I completed the surgery!! (mostly)
per the video - I simply disconnected the front brake lines at the junxion and reconnect the master cylinder line directly to the line going the callipers.
I also pulled the blue fuse (in the right side fuse box) to stop the Brake Failure light flashing.
I haven't had time to bleed the front brakes yet (haha I know I know) but the bike drives amazing with great braking feel and everything working well.
The rear brake is still connected to the servo, but it works normally and everything good.
3 Tips:
1) You don't have to remove the gas tank, only pull it back an inch or 2 to give enough space to disconnect the brake lines
2) Get a good hacksaw to cut the bracket that holds the front brake lines. Mine took a few minutes of swearing and vigorous sawing
3) if you leave the old brake lines in place (going to the servo)… they are high pressure! I wrapped them off with plastic bags and elastic, and went to test setup with key on and pull brake - Brake fluid jetted right through! haha
Easy fix - Grab a beer bottle (i used a small juice bottle), put the lower brake line in it, and squeeze and hold brake handle until the servo unit pumps itself dry.
Overall very satisfied with the job so far!! I just need to get a custom line for the rear brake to connect master cylinder directly to brake line leading to callipers, and of course bleed everything
thanks for all the tips guys!!
