The lines from both my mc's need the angle adjusted due to the clip ons i installed (apex no rise). If i crack the banjo bolts juuust enough to rotate the fittings, you think i'll have to bleed them?
Probably not. if you just get it loose enough to rotate and no more. I've done that several times on various bikes. If air does get in, it's only a tiny amount and doesn't have a notable effect on things. Of course, never hurts to bleed the brakes.

+1 I've done this many times.
I always have someone (who understands the concept ) lightly squeeze the lever as I work with the banjo fitting. A few drops of fluid assures that no air got in.
Also, you can untwist the line by gently twisting it where it's crimped onto the banjo. I use a pair of common pliars that have a second griping area for round stuff. Just wrap a rag around the crimp and slowly turn the line where you want.

I like the first idea...do it that way myself...
the second not so much.
Well its mainly about the fittings angles. Thanks for the tips!

Second one will work with Speigler lines... not sure about others
