Sorry if it's been covered, i did a search and i couldn't find what i was after. I've got VT front brakes on my VL and the stock drum brakes on the back. I haven't upgraded the booster or master cylinder yet, the brakes are functional but they don't get enough fluid. What the path of upgrade here? How do I go about getting the fluid to the VT brakes without flooding the drum brakes? Can anyone comment on their setup? Cheers

VL Calais disc diff. VL Turbo 1" master cylinder and a new brake booster.

Yeah you will need a bigger master cylinder. All the bigger masters are 4 wheel disc ones so you will need to fit rear discs also at the same time (complete VL diff or adapt VN discs). Don't muck around getting a 1" VLT booster. If you're going to change it, get a VS? booster and VT 1,1/4" master cylinder and adapt that. There is plenty of info on the net about swapping it-Google search it. Race Brakes Sydney or Cebco Brakes in Oakleigh can sell you bits to swap it over. Then you will have a proper pedal feel.
