No other bike I've had has done it.

After work today, I thought I'd see if I could re-perform the d/s tape trick, or something like it. The d/s didn't work, as the new nutz ... |

Thanks for that, Scott.
I did wonder about that brake pipe. I suppose I'll have to get the system bled afterwards.

Well, thanks for the comments!
It's a pity I'm going to ruin it all by putting the dual seat on it.. but I expect my wife never saw the Storm Trooper bit as an asset.
