    Thumbs up Hi broken braided brake lines

    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.

    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.

    Okay mate thanks try those hoses l. talk about scary dude i just went up from my place to pak n save car park

    And old ford falcon just crossed my path at speed to get into driveway cut right accross it was like dam gave me a

    Freight have'nt had that in years if been closer i dont have any front brakes so not good idea to ride it anymore

    Am going walk to espnade and go on walking track slowly u dont happen to have spare xl crash helmet i brought one from tradme but got pay another 300.00 to get it .

    Poilce car drove past when coming out car park after my little scare and she didnt notice my yellow bike helmet

    And no headlight not to mention no wof rego opps need get headlight and brakes sorted and foot peg and i take it in

    not sure rear tire either i post pic looks bit low in the middle


    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?
