Title: Front brake line reconfiguration.
Post by: rgramjet on July 19, 2010, 03:22:24 PM
Ive got the stock brake lines.

Ive got clip-ons above the triple and 749 forks.  Now my front brake lines are too long.

Behind my headlight is a tight mess.

Id like to eliminate the "T" behind the light and have a double banjo bolt with a line going to each front caliper.

I'm thinking Galfer lines.  Anyone have a measurement handy?  Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Put the double banjo bolt in the right caliper.  Run one line from the MC to the right caliper and a second line from the right caliper to the left.  You'll need 90° fitting on the line that connects the calipers.

If you're interested, I'll snap some pics tomorrow.

A SBK style line works great too.

One line to the right caliper with a t to pass over the fender

You can probably get an SBK style off the shelf.

Thank you for the pics and 'splanations!!

I think the single line to the rt caliper is what Ill do.  Ill measure and check the SBK off the shelf lines........do they come with red lines and chrome fittings?   ;D

You bet... ;D

Late model SS is pretty much the same as is ST.

As long as you match caliper type the fittings should have the correct angle.
