last spring i did a major brake upgrade to my A108 van. disc's up front and 11" drums to the rear.


mounting a larger M/C meant i needed to remove some of the shrouding. a few months b4 that i did a super six upgrade with headers.

these 2 upgrades have left my brake fluid suffering from temperature changes.

where can i get something that will hold up to the heat to try to insulate the M/C and the steel lines?

it's tuff to set up a good pedal for all the temp ranges.
