He got Bruce Linde to make him V3 TZ375 Tripple motor!!

No , its just TPS for the aftermarket ignition I imagine.

I am definitely no brake expert.
I recently read an article on Michael Dunlops TT winning BMW and it said he runs a single line from the master cylinder which tees at the bottom triple clamp to each caliper.
Can this be done to eliminate the 'problems' encountered when fitting a brembo master and the two banjos exiting the way they do.
What affect will this have on brake feel ?
Would the single line from the master need to be larger than the ones going to the calipers?
Thanks

I had to use "thick" copper washers for my brembo, but I can't remember exactly why... I remember it being a common problem though. Something about seepage and the bolt being a bit long as std I think.

For what it may be worth, we did the Brembo master cylinder conversion on our '92 4DP this past spring. We had Spiegler make up a fresh set of hoses with 45 degree banjos for the top and 1 1/2" longer overall than the stock lines. Spiegler also provided a double banjo bolt with the correct Brembo threads. Cost was $140 paying full retail. Turned out the lines were a bit longer than needed but worked well with improved bite and feel from our freshly overhauled Nissin calipers. At Road America we saw a '95 TZ with the one into two junction setup but did not compare notes on the pluses and minuses of the three versus two line option. I'd like to think that the two line version is a bit simpler without the question of doubling the inside hose dimension halfway to the calipers. The system sealed up fine using the stock copper washers (as opposed to the Spiegler aluminum ones).
