On my newest 50 there is a lever (under the dash) that I figured out has a
brake line connected to it and a bleeder screw. I assume its used to set
brakes (all of them) as a parking brake solution. Seems to me with a single
master cylinder that it wouldnt be all that reliable. It would act the same
as if you applied even pressure over a long period of time to the brake
pedal. Eventually, the pedal would end up on the floor and you would lose
your brakes. Or not? Has anyone ever seen one of these? There appears to be
some electrical stuff associated with it but I cant be sure. If anyone has
any expereince with this, lemme in!

Thanks!
