Hi broken braided brake lines

[actungbaby]

Hi getting my bike back on the road got bike going oh yeah i got no brakes okay i knew i need a new lever so

I havent check anything esle apart from that i need to replace left brake rotor it was damaged but i suspected brake lines where leaking as

Chould feel oil on the inside the fairing foam man thats a pain i don't know how 1 am going clean it

Then glanced at master cylinder looks empty , I was so am thinking the steel lines have been torn slighty at the bottom joins

As cant see any damage i checked before so that why thought must be okay . i dont have any more money to spare

At moment to buy new lines always assume these where out my price range only had rubber lines myself well just standred honda parts you

know . there might be a little slack ,can they be cut down and fittings added like 5 mm cut of and get fittings done at brake repair firm (car)

I need to spend 200.00 on new vfr 750 headlight so i dont have spare money for this as well

or i do have some spare parts i swap as a trade for lines ie got some headers i brought second hand and i only use the front pipes

The rest is here i dont really want take my orginals off as spent to much time know taking it to bits i just want ride the bike know

I brought these of ebay just got them today from bike dealer in the usa fitted what i needed I only brought the lot as in hurry to fix what i needed to

My orginals where crushed by the front forks

How long are the lines mate?
I'll measure up my spares when I have a moment, if they're likely to fit, you can have 'em.

Thanks mate i might well take them both of and i give to you i think one might be okay though did feel film of something on both of them

even so you may have use for the lines as think it stress split at the joiners at the calibers i get measure them in a moe:corn:

If your original headers were crushed by the front forks I presume the forks were bent back and quitely likely the brake lines got stressed in the accident. Replace them. They are too important to F around with.

I had take them out again as they separated to much and had hammer them closed a little then get bar nip them out on opening

To get the bolts started then just used slicon spray pushed them back through . i take of the tripple clamps next weekend

As bottom one is bent up slight on right side so whould not help matters

my eyes watering from worry and the wind in my damm eyes i been doing laps around the house got told of from wife for loosing rear traction on the lawn seem you get nice sound when bllip oh so light throttle and gve clutch little slip mmmm that sound

Know can get it all wof and get some road miles on to get the feel of it so far very happy with the feel it feels alot lighter than imagined

So u know its bigger than 400cc though

I wish I could ride mine around the house!

I'd replace the triple clamp on yours, I have a front tyre with tread, but my no rear tyres at the moment, trademe might help?
