Title: Just a quick question. Post by: hooligan machinist on June 24, 2013, 03:50:45 PM I finished the dual rotor conversion and noticed this.

I lowered the triples as far as the new bar setup would allow just to get this much. Actually had to lower them just to get the lines to even reach the calipers. I'm not sure how much further the forks will extend during normal operation, but it looks to me like it would rip these off if i were to go for a ride. Title: Re: Just a quick question. Post by: Speeddog on June 24, 2013, 04:30:16 PM I suspect you have an SS brake line.
But they shouldn't get tight when the front end is fully extended. Title: Re: Just a quick question. Post by: ute on June 24, 2013, 04:31:00 PM That does look kinda tight ..I would not ride with those
How about some SS lines from say a hyper that would be longer , or see whats on the galfer web site Title: Re: Just a quick question. Post by: SpikeC on June 24, 2013, 05:48:08 PM Why can't you unload the front end to see?
Title: Re: Just a quick question. Post by: hooligan machinist on June 24, 2013, 06:10:05 PM Why can't you unload the front end to see? Sheer laziness. Was planning to do that tomorrow. Title: Re: Just a quick question. Post by: Howie on June 24, 2013, 09:20:39 PM What bike are those lines from? Unless you can get more slack rerouting the lines I think there might be custom or correct lines in your future.

Title: Re: Just a quick question. Post by: hooligan machinist on June 25, 2013, 12:51:05 PM There really is no routing to it.
The splitter is bolted to the top triple and the lines hang straight down. I'm not sure about what bike they're from, i'll have to do some digging in my old e-mails. Title: Re: Just a quick question.

Title: Re: Just a quick question. Post by: Cloner on June 25, 2013, 02:49:36 PM I think Speeddog meant SuperSport SS, not Stainless Steel SS. The SuperSport lines are a tad shorter than Monster lines IIRC.
