Title: K75C barback brake line
Post by: Ocelot on February 23, 2013, 12:39:36 PM

Is there any trick way to mount barbacks on my K75C WITHOUT making a longer custom front brake line?

K100RT/LT top brake hose is around 2" longer, could fit one of those (then it's not a 'custom' part...) or just get a different longer hose.

Other than that, I don't know of a way to make a hose longer without making a longer hose.




Of course, you could move the grips/controls further in along the bars (might need different bars) which would make it narrower but give a little more play in the hose.

Or have I misunderstood?

Brake lines don't last forever, and they're not that expensive to have made custom.

Why not use this as an opportunity to upgrade the brake line?

Also this.

Personally I'd be putting some braided stainless hoses on (and I will be on mine when I've decided what I'm doing). Every time I've had a braided hose made (earls/goodridge) it's been cheaper than OEM too.
