Jesse:

I agree about the splines and stuff (mine are still fine 50,000 miles
fter adding the cush drive as when I put it on), but in Seattle that
brake starts to get funky in just a few weeks. The pivots gets stiff,
and then they're the classic off or locked (especially on wet roads)
2LS rear brake.

I ride almost daily in the wet from Oct. to May, so I'm not really
happy with them. Guess I'll have to put on a rear disc.

 If the T brakes are set up right they work OK . The savings on clutch
,trans,rear drive ,drive splines, universal joint and even the carrier
bearing make it a real good swap in my book.

No. Drums are half-width on the T.

Cush drives are great. T brakes suck big time. Tough call on whether
it's worth it.
