Brake Line Adjustments for PPG 

When using the PPG risers, the brake line lengths should be adjusted to suit the hangpoints (high, low or trike). 

Modifications

When using the PPG riser-set, only the brake line lengths should be adjusted. No other changes or modifications 
should be performed without first consulting your BGD dealer, as they may invalidate the warranty or certification. 

Warranty

In order to enjoy full benefits of the BGD warranty, you must complete the warranty form on the website.
For further information about the BGD warranty, please refer to the corresponding page on our website.
