Dual brake lines 750
« on: September 10, 2009, 07:50:04 PM »
Does anybody know where I can get brake lines made up for a 750F (1975) with dual discs and low bars?
I've asked Goodride to make them and they are not happy as I want them to direct feed with flexible to the calipers.
I've asked SS in the states once before but, no reply.
Thanks.

I've recently had a few parts off this guy .. http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/thracing09

I didn't buy a kit, just measured the inividual lines and ordered banjo's and bolts as necessary for the way I was running it. He distributes Venhill stuff, and it's really god quality.

Custom Fastners in Newtown also make up brake lines in stainless braided with either stainless or normal fittings and can do the bolts etc you need. I normally go there and get them made up while I wait but they genrally do bussiness by mail order.
Got a 500/4 with rust and a sidecar and loadsa bits. nice and original and been round the clock

I changed the brake lines on my CB750F1 to stainless direct to the caliper, used a guy on eBay who sold and made up HEL brake lines, unfortanately I've lost his details, but this is what they look like.

Quick edit, just found a reciept, the people who made up my lines are here:

Very tidy.

I've been on touch with SS on the forum, so hopefully we are on our way.
Got the bolts for the Dual Disc, but had to buy 50 off.
So have a few spares if anybody wants any in 6's.

Surprised you had to buy 50, I usually get all my bolts either on eBay or from Custom Fasteners.

They were only 16p each, and seemed to specialist items, 6 x 8mm x 110mm, high tensile. Do you have a particular ebay supplier?

I don't have a favourite eBay supplier I just look for the best deal for the amount that I want, 16p each sounds very cheap for high tensile zinc coated bolts.

Strange that Goodridge did not seem interested as they made up the lines for my dual disc setup on my 550 as well as for my 750F2.But in the days when stainless fittings were not available,I was supplied with cad plated...which I later regretted.Since then I have always advised people to buy stainless throughout.

On my 750F2 I specified two lines that went direct from the master cylinder to each caliper,bypassing the need for the splitter underneath the headlight.This meant only 7 copper washers,rather than the 11 that would normally be utilised.Less chance of a leak this way.With the advent of front brake light switches being on the master cylinder (on the 750F2) it does away with the need for the heavy and bulky hydraulic switch on the K and F1 variants.This is why a master cylinder from the F2 is ideal for anyone contemplating a doble disc upgrade on a K or F1 model.
