Pretty trick.  Be interested to see how that little bearing holds up, going to see a fair bit or leverage may exceed regular radial load.  Just wondering if you guys have tried the brake pedal return spring delete mod?  Go to fasst co and check out 2 things, the rear brake clevis and the return spring kit, it deletes the oem spring and looks trick.  Ive ran it on my tecate 4 for a couple years now, ordered a kit for a kfx450 if im not mistaken.  Holds up well

they look good...reasonably priced too.
I don't know anyone using them, at least that I'm aware of....wouldn't mind some feedback on them, if anyone has any to share...

I had to cut some length off my plunger because the clevis added more length than my old oem clevis assembly.  Other than that 10min job.  I think you can get different spring rates on those little springs,  just not sure if the different springs were available from fasst co or if I had them spec'd out from another company, it as a couple years a go now

The bearing I used was a cheapo Chinese bearing so that I could see if I could make it work.
Even if it holds up for a few years I'll pop a new quality bearing in.

I've never tried one of the spring eliminators before but it looks like there is billet involved so I'll get one  8-)

Pretty sure the kawie 450 clevis will work and the spring should fit any 1/2" bore master cylinder.   They never listed one for my tecate 4, only thing I had to do was shorten my plunger rod

I fixed mine by updating to a newer 450 pedal then you can also get some more billet bling and stops the pedal from wobbling around rubbing holes in my clutch cover.

It is so amazing it will also fix your handling problem, lack of power, poor riding skills, your bike will run cooler, no more rod knock, and make your house payment  :-P

Ready.... Get set....
