Upper brake hose length

(1/3) > >>

SteveW:
Does anyone know the length of the upper brake hose for a 550 with UK bars please?

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
If it helps I can check my 500 that has UK bars, I think the length might be printed on the pipe. I'm out at the moment.

Thanks Ted, that would be great.
My 550 had US bars, just fitting UK bars to it.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Obviously my pipe is fitted so I have done my best to follow the upper hose route using a rubber pipe alongside it to measure the run.

Excluding the metal ends the actual flexi-pipe measures 10"/ 25.5 mm or thereabouts measuring from the master cylinder to the three way connector.  The Banjo fittings are a tad under 2" each measuring from the end of the Banjo to the end of the crimpet part where it attaches to the hose.

The total length including the fittings is approximately 14" in total end to end laid flat.  Our local car spares that sadly closed and never re-opened after covid listed  hoses in their parts books in various lengths with choice of fittings.

Fancy ones are listed on e-bay braided SS etc for both £48.90 .https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/164647198327?fits=UKM_Make%3AHonda&_nkw=Honda+CB500+K+1+brake+hoses&itmmeta=01J6NB0WVBYPXV2J294E7P8A2R&hash=item2655bcde77:g:gaoAAOSwd3lmZt24&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKnKX08IrpX4dAjtiC1D5wAaIuyJ%2FBObOpLvstdUgKW2iiSqWzpgmYRSQnCLkzO4fhect%2FLtqVso4EGgCuT7ky4mhrBLpk%2B02ViqOLgmT4ieGDYlVEHVOc1Rs4z%2F9YnMHsphEtV%2Bx9V0nWDUGBTiIGcE9TqEJsc29W75bEyY4K1rX21fW5Q26OctkZtUAJuWROV%2FzVgZNCcsqy%2BGlVmGp5WrsoNyeUk7PY4tLKHoBUlBDmbRAkslwnH3fhYm6FNvdxxR2cLgWvgmsEm2AX7AkmWl%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR-TNg6u1ZA
