Front Brake Assemby Picture (on the bike)
waffey:
thanks very much for the photos and advice, its good to do a sanity check.
waffey:
Help again!
There seems to be a lot of 'extra' brake hose (see pictures) how does this route at the top? Also, assume the unions with teh bend attaches to the the brake 'thingy' with the brake switch?
Nurse Julie:
That's normal for at the top end, it sort of sits in a big 'S' shape when in situ. If it really is too long, have you got a hose for USA model which has the higher handlebars? It actually looks like you have got it fitted upside down though 🤔. Edit, mine isn't original so I can't compare.
Nurse Julie:
Here is an original one and this is the shape it sits in once fitted to the bike

TrickyMicky:
From bitter recent experience, must agree with Nurse Julie, the top hose is upside down. The "S" shaped kink at the other end is to help it to clear the top yoke. When I fitted mine, I had started from the caliper and worked upwards, every bolt was tightened fully, including the ba---rd brake light switch, and then discovered my mistake. I can send you the approved list of Anglo-Saxon phrases that accompany this procedure if needed!! Stay Safe. Michael.
