Title: CJ250T brake pipe
Post by: AndyD on October 30, 2020, 05:32:12 PM

Hi,
Struggling to find anyone who can do replacement brake hoses and pipe for the old CJ250T.
Anyone have any ideas?

Cheers,
Andy

Speak to Dan at Legend Motorcycles, he may be able to help.

Given the lengths and type of fittings i could make you some braided ones, do you want to keep the end metal pipe?

Thanks.
Julie - I tried Legend first as I got the 400 hoses from them recently and they look really good but sadly they don't do any for the CJ.

Bryan - I'm trying to get as original a look as possible so prefer to have the metal pipe if feasible.

I had some made up by Predator a few weeks ago but when I got them the hoses are wrong and I think the pipe is also not correct. They are not sure when they can make new ones so I was hoping to find an alternative.

Cheers,
Andy

Have you spoke to Dan at Legend ? Give him the measurements of your old lines. I think they are the same as a 400 four  ;)

@Hi Andy   Silvers sell an aftermarket lower hose @ £21.54
              CMSNL sell aftermarket hoses Upper @ 25 euro
                                                         lower @ 25 euro 
               But as Trigger says they do look the 400f set up Try measuring your 400 ones and compere with CJ250T

Thanks again
I did originally hope that the brakes would be the same as the 400 but sadly not the case.
The two hoses are both a small mount shorter than the 400 ones - by about 25 - 30mm which probably would fit but pushes the hoses 'out' of line quite a bit.

For the pipe it's hard to tell, definitely a different part number but I can't compare so easily as the CJ pipes are all damaged / cut on the old bikes.
Having a good look it might be possible to fit the 400 pipe but I need to get the front end together first to check for sure.

I think the difference may be due to the CJ having a slightly longer fork slider for some reason which shortens the hoses and changes the run of the pipe and clamp position etc.
I thought the forks were common parts until I dismantled the two bikes and found that one had shorter sliders and when I compared them to the 400 they matched up.

I'll give Legend a call and see if they can do 'special' hoses or only supply standard kits etc.

Cheers,
Andy
