Recently, I’ve changed my work approach a bit.

You might think “huh?” but…
“Get past the natural stopping point, push a little further, then take a break” <\/p>\n\n\n\n


It’s honestly a winner for me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you stop at a natural breaking point,
don’t you get that “ugh, here we go again” feeling when moving on to the next task? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Don’t read or reply to emails outside set times”\u2014this works really well.
Parts are starting to arrive, so we’re moving forward! <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I kept the front layout the same as the original. It looks pretty stock-standard and clean, doesn’t it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On the master side, after some deliberation, I went with a 90-degree fitting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Instead of using cable ties, I’m reusing the H2 OEM rubber grommet\u2014it wraps gently and can be reused.

That’s pretty eco-friendly! Kawasaki 92173-1229, $1.60
Foreign bikes seem to have quite a variety of sizes available… I should look into it more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

*I forgot to order the nipple, so bleeding is on hold for now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The unassuming but effective “Arcane Hands rubber brake hose<\/a>” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It comes in various lengths, but the angle is fixed, so it takes a bit of fiddling… but it’s ideal for rubber brake hose enthusiasts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That’s why layout gets tricky like this.

This time I added a banjo bolt with a washer and color, raised the hose up, and subtly adjusted the contact and layout angle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The damper definitely needs to be replaced with a fresh one, so I made sure to do that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Rear caliper side\u2014now that I think about it, it’s routed through a tight space. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The rear master I managed to snag just before it was discontinued.
Since it’s just a straight swap, it’s a lifesaver! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Every time I think about it… Tokico is pretty bold, don’t you think? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their design is incredibly free-spirited.
It’s full of that “use this space however you want” vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I compared old and new just to be safe.
There are a lot more anti-rotation features added… I guess versatility was the priority. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want to lubricate it when it’s new, and I’m also taking the opportunity to check the cup and piston. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I still wonder what that 43020-1019 was for…
Well, I guess it doesn’t matter… moving on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CCI Metal Rubber <\/a>applied and assembled.
Hoping it improves operation by even 1%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lubrication on the rod shaft too… <\/p>\n\n\n\n
