K75 Spiegler Stainless Line - Front

[klhoskins]

I bought this single line for my K75 and decided to go dual lines to the MC. See the picture for the part number and description. Paid $70 and I'm asking $40 plus actual shipping cost from California.

I know the original post is a bit stale by now, but I am curious as to how you ran dual lines from the MC.

Any other comments would be appreciated.  Is there an actual gain in stopping power with this approach versus the single line to a "Y" splitter?

As always,

I just custom ordered 2 lines in the correct length with the banjo fitting on one end and the threaded end on the other. All you need then is a two line banjo bolt.

No real benefit one way or the other I just like the look on the two line setup and I've found it easier to bleed.

The OEM alternative to the Y-splitter is the solid brake line between callipers.  Part Number 9 in the diagram below.



This can be easily manufactured from pre-made brake line available at automotive parts stores. The rigid line follows the fork stanchion, under the fender and down the other stanchion.  Make sure the secure the line to the stanchion to prevent vibration from work-hardening the line, which can result in breakage and loss of braking.

Thank you gentlemen!  I live near Frankenduck, and he has the solid tube that runs over the fender as see in the illustration.  Either way I must be rid of the OEM rubber hoses.

Cheers,
