bmw r80 rt I have in bits used the cable operated master cylinder under the tank. Worked fine, most owners these days switch to the brembo conventional system though, saves lubing a cable ::)

Intersting thoughts - I didn't know any production bikes ran that system, I'll have to have a look at a BMW.

I've been thinking of a cable set-up during the build & coincidentally I was looking at the space under the tank / around the coils just last night to see if there was space to put my existing master cylinder under there. A cable only would look very clean and there seems to be room under there, even more so if I could squeeze both coils onto one side of the frame. I thought it would be possible to run a pivot arm (eg a cut down brake lever) to activate the brakes via cable.
