He says that the diagram may suggest a flexi there but the pug part doesn't have one?
saw the same set up in a pic shown on here ( copper pipe coming from l/h/s rear caliper which seemed to "stick up" quite a lot on the curve from the caliper to the pipe going forward along the swing arm ) ...........from memory no one commented on the sticky uppy pipe or no flexi on that bit............
some beams have two flexis per side (ie on coming straight of the rear caliper), some don't ...
