 Thanks, Roy.

 With the 13/16" cylinders, can you get the rears to lock up before the fro=
nts? Or a rearward brake bias?

   Roy,

 I gather you didn't notice the asymmetry until the rebuild?
=20
 Did you go all 3/4 or all 13/16?

 Any apparent difference once changed?

 Any update to this vintage 1999 thread?

 Are there functional, plug-and-play substitutions for the late roadster=20

 Such as rear wheel cylinders from the 1200, B210, 510, 617, 710?

 Did the debate over how to get more braking action at the rear (by using=
