Need longer front brake hose 6 Months, 1 Week ago  
Anyone know where I can purchase a longer front brake hose, the one going to the master cylinder? I need one about 28" long. Stock measures at 22" long. I put different handlebars on is why I need the longer one. Thanks!

When I put on the 40" wide apes, I used the leftover rear brake line I had from when I moved my floorboards forward 3.5"...works like a charm. I just coiled the little extra behind the tree & zip tied it. Works like a charm...but then I'm frugal.

The line going from the master cylinder to the union under the lower tree just needs a 10mm banjo fitting at each end.

The line to the master is the in lower right of this pic:


I have a tendency to replace these with banjo fittings and 3an brake hose. If I change bars again I only have to change the hose and not the banjo fittings.


Though you'll get a little more than $25 in it this way. I pick stuff up at Summit Racing. Work is close to their Talmadge store.

The banjo fittings screw onto the 3an hose? I wonder if those stainless steel hose come in black?

Most any place where they make up hydraulic hose can make you a brake hose, I had mine done at a place called Wood Logging Supply.

Most large brake shops can do it for you.

It won't be a DOT certified hose it will be a hyd hose.
