I was cleaning up the brakes on the bike today and removed the rear lever in order to get at the connector rod and the brace... On my Seca, the brake lever is just a lever, and on the Vision, it has an adjuster bolt and jam nut that I'm not familiar with. Is this to adjust where the lever 'parks' at, or is it for some other reason?

Thanks again, you guys are great with the answers by the way.

The adjuster is so you can set the brake pedal at a height that works best for you.  Hope you noticed, there is a small dot on the brake pedal shaft & a corresponding mark on the hole in the pedal.  Those should be aligned when replacing the pedal.  Just a minor heads up.

If you have an accident on a motorcycle, it's always your fault. Tough call, but it has to be that way. You're in the right, and dead -on a bike. The principle is not to have any accident. If you're involved in an an accident, it's because you did not anticipate. Then, by default, you failed.
