Any spiders in your brake lines? I remember one summer when I left the hose off the garden tap. A big spider climbed into the top of the hose. I reconnected it and turned on the hose...The sprinkler end had spider legs hanging out and flowing REALLy badly..He was a mighty big spider.

I think the splitter valve is a possibility. Find a 180B one? (What sort of M/C) for as cheap as possible. It will only mean bending the tubes a little to fit hopefully.

Wait for other comments to be sure.

Brakes seem like a simple device, but there's plenty of components that "normal" people don't have to think about. It's us "hybrid guys" that keep running into these incompatablity problems...and learning how things work not only the hard way, but the expensive way too.
