Not driven this much as brakes have been ordinary needed booster...found a spare had it tested by a brake mob then I fitted it all up after which turned out to be worse than one it replaced.FFS!!!
Bit the bullet bought vt m/cyl + booster upgrade kit so fitted that up today...several hours stuffing around test fit/remove/test fit finally got it all on but forgot to bench bleed & didn't want to remove it again so poured bottle of brake fluid in & fired it up.
Brakes better than old setup...does need major bleed but surprisingly easy to lock wheels up...should be even better when/if gets vt calipers on it.
Things to note -
Looks uglys as sin with brake line adaptors & factory lines too long + need bending.
If you can source au reservoir cap do it...just way too much angle with vt reservoir(low fluid light on might be switch issue or plug)
Clearances are not that crash hot....think I want to try vt m/cyl with vs plastic booster next time.
vt setup weighs 5.9kg,vp setup 5kgs & vs setup 3.5kgs (real reason wanted to go that way lol)
Ute is due for rego in July & needs bit more work done to it in order to pass...have more go fast bits just lack motivation to work on it in cold weather outside...can't see big new garage getting done untill next year & more focused on progress of the vk & hopefully sle progress in few months time.
