Anybody try one of these Traction Control Brake banjo bolts?

These types of devices operate by reducing the amount of pressure to the caliber. Their clam to reduced stopping distance would have to be based on a locked brake compaired to one that is not locked. This would be true with or with out their device. I believe their device will help prevent lockup, but at the cost of braking power. I think you could get the same results as this device by adding air into your brake system. Reading there ad all there bullet points sounded like the way my brakes were before I bled out the air.
This is my opinion and yours may differ.

I also researched these and I believe the same as 03dragonRK. I must admit I've never tried them but I personally would not want to turn my good brakes into mushy brakes.

Arise dead thread!
I was told about this system recently by a friend that has a mid seventies FL w/ a sidecar. And he really likes the system, but we are talking 70's HD w/ a side hack.

Has anyone else actually PUT one of these systems on their bike and can report results?
I found this article and it seems to be from an objective source. http://www.cyclematters.com/motorcyc...ock-brakes.cfm
Ya never know though.
So, if you have got this system, let us know the results. Thanks!

So, I'll answer my own question. With the searching I have done, I have found a few that have tried them and like the system well enough and many that have not tried the system and think it is hokey or even dangerous. So, I'll talk to my friend some more about the TCB system.
