Fork swap brake lines
Fork swap brake lines
Has anyone swapped forks and kept their steel lines they were using on the non radial brakes and used them on radial brakes?
I am not sure if the banjo fittings need to be at different angles or directions.

Back (way back) when I put SP2 forks on my bike I may have kept whatever lines I was running, but once I mounted radial brackets for CBR1000RR Tokicos I had custom (slightly longer) lines made by Galfer I believe. They only charge a couple bucks more than standard sizes for a particular bike and will make them whatever length you need. As for the angles of the fittings I'll check for you tomorrow and see what I did vs stock (PM me if I forget as that's getting more and more common for me these days
). Again they'll make you anything you need and it was literally like 5 or 10 bucks more at the time.
Right cap but I guess what I am asking is will brake lines from a standard brake system need crazy twisting to fit a radial mount. I have long enough lines but don't know if I can keep them or need long lines made for the radial mount.
I have had issues in the past with the different angles they need to exit the master and enter the calipers. Of course I could find out as I do the swap but that may cost me riding time.
When I did my cbr1000rr front end swap I had the bike specific lines so they just fit.
