Front brake fitting 2 Years, 3 Months ago  
Does anyone know off hand the size of the banjo bolt for the front brakes (at the master cylinder and the valve under the triple tree). The bike I just bought has 16" apes and the previous owner really Mickey Moused the brake line. Also does anyone know of a place to buy longer brake lines? I am looking at J&P but they have 10mm and 12mm listed so I was hoping someone would know which size I needed so I didn't have to take it apart to measure. Thanks in advance!

Brake fittings are 10mm x 1.25. Clifford can get you the fittings and lines.
