Hi, i am about to put some 3.5" handlebar risers and will need a new front brake line. The problem is that no one lists how long the OEM is so i can't add on a few inches and get the new one. Every aftermarket manufacturer lists a replacement for OEM but also fails to mention the length. I would rather not take mine off quite yet if someone else has the info. Thanks for any leads.
it's really easy
take a piece of cable tv coax antenna wire and route it from where you want the master cyl. to be and down to the caliper .
now after you have it place like you want you can pull the coax cable out and measure how long it is
that will tell you how long of a brake cable you need.
Yeah, i suppose that would work. Thanks for the idea.
It will work as it is absolutely the best method to determine the length needed. Keep in mind length is usually the middle of the banjo-hole to middle hole.
And it only works with coax :icon_mrgreen:
As I have a 2 hose set up from the master cyl dose that mean I should have used twin & earth?
