:-) I have the TLS rear brake on this one. It's "adjustable"

LOL ... Who woulda thunk there was so much motocycle lore in the
PDML?
My 850T is a special I built up myself in the early 1990s from a
neglected lump that sat in someone's garage for a decade or so.
Right now I'm pulling the motor apart for overhaul and upgrading
so I can put it back into service. I haven't been riding for a
few years, but that's going to change very soon. :-)
