Hi Jim I found your site since I am also big fun of Porsche. I have also Bike FS but now brake is not working due to fluid is all gone which I had a shop filled with oil 2 years ago. It looks like brake cable is quite badly deteriorating. Do you have any suggestion to replace the cable? I checked goole engine but no result. I took the bike to the shop but no help. will you please suggest any? Thank you so much!! Takuma Sudo
ReplyDeleteHello, thank you for reading my blog. Without seeing your brake line, I’m not sure I can help. However, most Porsche bike brakes are made by Magura. So here’s a couple links to check.
