FRONT BRAKE HOSE

(1/2) > >>

MikeM:
Not convinced this is correct, went to put the front hoses today, should the top hose to master cylinder be this tight ?

dug out an old pic of when I took bike apart and looks tight there to .... is this correct ?

then






now





do you guys reckon its wrong length hose as non standard master cylinder was fitted

also unclear where master cylinder should bolt to on the bars

Trigger:
The first picture is rightish, the you put the clock bracket on and it got messed up. The brake pipe should go between the top yoke and the clock bracket. 

MikeM:
ok so just feed up under the clocks ?

Trigger:
That is the root it originally took, but i am not sure about the length. The master cylinder butts up against the switch gear, maybe when they put the wrong master cylinder on, they used the brake line that came with the cylinder. The brake pipe looks as it should be used on flatter bars.

LesterPiglet:
Maybe your bars aren't positioned just in the right spot. Slacken them and the banjo bolt off and see if you can find a better fit.
