FRONT BRAKE HOSE

<< < (2/2)

Bryanj:
You will never get a correct line with that master cylinder as its longer than original

MikeM:
ok let me recap

first 2 pics are when I was stripping the bike ie with non original master cylinder....frame is black master cylinder now replaced

bottom 2 pics with new master cylinder bought from  from an advertised cb550 k3 .. frame is now silver


Bryan when you say about master cylinder is wrong are you referring to bottom pics ?



here is bike as of today with better pics showing how tight this hose is   

florence:
Just make sure it can't rub on anything. 

(also, just as an aside, I prefer the braided goodridge type hoses.  they aren't original looking but they improve the feel of the brakes no end)

MikeM:
difference in price as well on braided on ebay which ones to go for if i do  decide to go down that route

these ok

Trigger:
Don't buy a braided hose Mike. I am 98% sure i have one. I will look over the weekend, and if i find it, yours for free.
I remember taking off a bike because it was too long once we put on a set of drag bars.
