    Urgent - braided brake line wanted.

    Sorry - probably wrong thread to post this in but I need to get a braided brake line for front brakes urgently.

    I need a braided line of X length with banjo bolts crimped on each end.

    Are there stock lines around or do I need to get them made? Where?

    Are the banjo bolts a standard size?

    Thanx for any help.BTW : Aucklander

    ENZED or HYDRALINK (where I got my cb550f ones) should be able to help out. Look under "Hoses" in the yellow pages of your phone book.

    beware!!!

    My bike just failed its Warrant today ... braided brake line.

    If it doesn't have the proper DOT number on it, it will fail. You need to check the regs or talk to your local bike shop or VTNZ to find out the right thing.

    A perfectly good (and safe) brake line had to be thrown away. I hate to think what that's cost me today, pick up the bike (and the bill) tommorrow

    Bound to be someone who races CBRs that could make good use of it. Why not advertise them in the trading section?

    I never thought of that Bonez, at the moment, it's probably in the bin at Motormart, I'll see if they have it when I pick the bike up in an hour.

    Are braided lines a requirement for racing?

    There is a quick solution or 2 if anyone wants to do the work them selves.

    AMPS in Khyber Pass sell the 'Russell' range of braided lines (various lengths) and fittings (banjo and bolts and DOT). They are expensive but come with a letter from the LTNZ that shows them to be legal should you have an issue with the WOF techo. Cost me $170.

    I then "discovered" some fittings at 50/50 Racing at 145C Morrin Rd Mt Wellington. Much, much cheaper (and evidently legal as well according to them.).

    Another brand is Fren Turbo which have the required numbers to keep VTNZ happy. Boyle Kawasaki in Wellington got me some from an Auckland wholesaler so asking at one of the shops up there should get you some. Pricing is around $100 per metre. Don't forget to replace the crush washers as well.
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.

    Just so you know smart arse. The cost at Jason was going to be about the same and I would have had to wait a few days for the line. He has someone else do the job out of house.

    The way I did it had me on the road again by Saturday morning.

    As regarding your moronic comment on what I ride and what I am You do not appear proud enough of your ride to let us all know what it is.

    I think you have mistaken me for someone who might give a fuck about what you think.

    So why did you reply if you don't care?

    If you don't know what I ride, it's because you don't need to know.

    Yeah, when I was after braided lines I looked first at Galfer but they had no markings.

    I then enquired of HEL in the UK about markings. They replied that the hoses don't come with any markings but the NZ agent fits a sleeve bearing the magic numbers. Good thinking!

    Stop trying to be a smart cunt because it's obvious from reading your "help me, i'm retarded" posts that you're not.

    The only ripples down your end of the gene pool will be the ones caused by you fucking your own sister.

    Figured out where to stick your hose yet?
