    Brakes REALLY touchy

    My 998 has really really touchy brakes, it only takes 1/2" tops for them to engage. So far I have yet to see a solution. My major issue is that the brake lights do not come on. The switch is adjusted back as far as it can be.. Anyone have this issue, a solution ? Thanks

    X Doors with my soft top

    I picked up hard doors and WOW so nice.. I was worried about the fit with a soft top. Not now.. I have access good used X Doors. clean glass. $600 for a set of 2 was not a bad deal. Going on my M1038 next. Hopefully it will help a little with the cold weather over winter.
