[Spridgets] Brakes

[CosmicMag1380]

Did you add a later model shuttle valve equipped proportioning valve? If
so, did you center the shuttle pin before carefully bleeding the lines? The
earlier disc brake systems had a proportioning valve without the shuttle
valve. The shuttle was added to the dual M/C systems for safety.

Go to Gerard's Garage for excellent info on brakes... He's the guru on
Spridget binders!
