Brake advice to cure my insanity

Besides. Brake drag is easy. Every time you come to a stop at a light or stop sign just push the bike
fore and aft with your feet in nuetral. It should roll so freely it wants to keep goin a bit.
A little bit of brake drag will make the bike wanna stop right after you push it a little.

Oh crap. Someone remind me!
I did decide, because we have been flooded so much lately here, to add a return spring to my rear brake actuator assy.
I'll post a pic soon.
Older bikes had them.
It's just really hard to keep the lower stuff lubed properly when you commuting on a motorcycle and it rains every day.
You can get the stuff to do the mod at a motorbike boneyard and frankly I like the mod.
I'll post a pic tomorrow.
