I paid the guy $200 to do the safety wiring for me since I'm short on time and figured that would save me a weekend of work since I don't have a drill press. He did a TERRIBLE job, I wish I'd looked a lot closer when I was picking the bike up. Didn't touch a single hose clamp, didn't do 4 banjo bolts etc. I'd say he did about half of the needed work.

Hey kit, you have a master cylinder from another bike right? I'm curious how it works- hydraulic theory says that taking a master from a 2 caliper bike and putting it on a 1 caliper bike should require twice the lever force on the master.. but there could be other stuff I'm ignoring.
Dude, I would have done the safety wiring for you for lunch/dinner.

You are half right about the MC. Trust me on this. For very good there is a bad--you lose feel.
