Abstract
An integrated motorcycle brake system has a brake line, and an inside brake assembly having an inside piston. The brake line connects to the inside brake assembly, and the inside brake assembly integrally forms a fork leg. The outside brake assembly has an outside piston opposite the inside piston. A fluid passage between the outside brake assembly and inside brake assembly has a conduit that transmits brake line pressure to the inside and outside pistons. The four way fluid junction has a vertical bore meeting a horizontal bore where the vertical bore is plugged at a top end with a seal.
Claims26
A motorcycle brake system comprising:
- an inside brake assembly having an inside piston, wherein the inside brake assembly integrally forms a fork leg;
- an outside brake assembly opposite the inside brake assembly.
A motorcycle brake system comprising:
- a brake line;
- an inside brake assembly having an inside piston, wherein the brake line connects to the inside brake assembly, and wherein the inside brake assembly integrally forms a fork leg;
- an outside brake assembly having an outside piston opposite the inside piston;
- a fluid passage internally formed within the outside brake assembly and inside brake assembly, wherein the fluid passage passes between the outside brake assembly and inside brake assembly;
- wherein the fluid passage forms a four way fluid junction in the outside brake assembly with a vertical bore meeting a horizontal bore wherein the vertical bore is plugged at a top end with a seal.
