    Warped front fork washer/guide?

    Venhill braided brake lines installed

    Recently I replaced my stock lines with new Venhill braided lines. I bought the carbon-look ones. I additionally replaced all the seals and pads. Overall it was a straightforward process, although I did have a little trouble getting the front brakes to firm up when bleeding them. Since the...
