CB500 upper front brake hose routing

(1/4) > >>

SPR:
Morning

I've looked on the PDI instructions but still am confused on the routing for the upper brake hose ..... also if I've got the longer hose fitted for higher bars ? as the original isn't available

Any pointers appreciated

Thanks

Simon

Hi Simon,
Do you know the length of your hose - it certainly looks long - might be the angle but is the hose touching/rubbing  the chrome fork ear?

It's hard to get an exact measure but from fitting to fitting approximately 35cm

It does touch the chrome ear

I see what you mean about measuring - mine is about 25 cm - my pipe sits in the middle of the gap between the headlamp & the fork ear.

PS My clutch cable route seem odd it pass through the right side of the headlamp/fork ear gap under the left side of the petrol tank crossing over to the left side throught a frame gap next to the coils.

Mine definately seems longer than your hose ...... your throttle cables seem long ?

My clutch cable goes as pic - under RHS of tank (as sat on it) then under the frame and down in between the carb manifold
