Brake Flexi Positioning

Anyone got any tips???

My Hi-Specs have banjos so the flexis can only realisticaly point up or down to avoid hitting the wheel.

not a positioning tip but relates to flexis anyway

put a slight twist in the flexi to make sure it avoids touching any upright (SVA fail)

test the twist BEFORE filling & bleeding the brake system. that way you can undo and adjust the twist (either clockwise or anti clockwise) without introucing air into the braking system

Trying to make up for the scooter horn I had on the Avon.

I want to make sure people hear me when they try and drive over me on a roundabout or something.

Doesn't play a tune though, but is bloody loud.

How's yours coming on?
