Front brake pipe thread

Dan:
Thanks Bryan
I was thinking of ordering a hose from HEL. It will go straight from a Suzuki (!) master cylinder to the solid pipe that comes off the caliper, and delete the brake switch on the bottom yoke. Any advice gratefully received.

Why not go straight from the master to the caliper ?

Dan:
That is an option but I'd like to maintain at least some originality. I think it would look better with the steel pipe too.

The reason for wanting to delete the original brake light switch is to make room to move the headlight back and down a bit. Sorry to any purists who read this :-)

Dan:
Just a quick update for anyone considering buying a custom brake hose.

The thread size of the bottom hose/caliper pipe connections is M10x1.25 and is the standard thread  used by Honda on the CB (400 and 750) during the 1970s.

I would also recommend the services of HEL Performance for their advice and fast turn around. My hose arrived less than 24 hours after ordering online.
