working on brake line for front brake
starting off with left side brake only,, if I'm not happy with one I will machine other side of wheel to except rotor- its just time consuming and a little complicated,, my buddy T-bone @ bike-shop told me yesterday "well you keep talking about you may as well do it" guess we will see anyway heres what I've come up with looks like I got to build my own lines!!
1. a piece of line cut then pushed through nut
2. ferrell pushed in-between ss steel braid and liner.
3. special banjo fitting that has sleeve on end that pushes into liner.
4.nut being tightened up to complete fitting
5.banjo fitting ans crush washers going on caliper
6.what finished brake line installation looks like.
hope this was not to boring but its part of the process....
magoo
also it would be nice if description could be - beside each pic is this something that can be done ???

- - - Updated - - -

when I get brakes and lights done I can get inspection and title so get'n close!!!
mike aka magoo

Missed this part of build. Where did you get the brake line hose and stuff. I need to build brake lines for mine and cant find any for dual calipers. thanks

 

[irmagoo]

well heres most of what I ordered, I wanted to make most of my lines as custom made would have been $65-85 ea. and I could have screwed one up this way I can make a little long and cut off what I need to later... I think I payed a little over $125 for 25ft. of plastic covered ss steel line,,,- fitting were $10-17.50 ea. not cheap but I could have payed for them to be done and spent twice as much... rear brakes are automotive stuff a lot cheaper for sure new rubber brake lines for both side were about $30 and hard line and fitting around$50 total.
front and rear brake master cylinders $175 or so....

 

[irmagoo]

been a while ,,i'm back!!

hi folks well i'm back !!
wife's health is' better I ever took her for a couple hour ride she looked right at home in sidecar!!
so,,,work'n on trike sent computer to Ryan Gick @ Sinister Performance over in Indiana to do some tuning for my engine/trans set up should be around 300 hp as it now,,,,
