    Just wanting to know if an ABS rear axle would fit a non ABS VTR? Is it a case of just unplugging the sensors and just leaving them off and not worrying about them?
    Cheers

    You will need to swop brake lines & fit a bias valve but yes it will

    Will the brake pipes just connect up exactly like the ones from the non ABS axle? and you mean the brake compensator?

    You may need to flare the brake pipe ends using a special tool,other than that yes they`ll fit okay.

    You will need the lines from under the passenger side floor back, they just unbolt.

    You can use the vts lines but dont expect the back end to be stable when you brake hard..

    You dont need anything like that, just a decent 11mm spanner and a nice straight hand as you dont want to chew you brake line bolts up
