front brake lines, standard and race setup

I am wanting to upgrade my brake lines to braided hoses and run 2 lines direct from the master cylinder. do you have to make a modification to run the 2 hoses as the standard setup only has 1 hose running from the master cylinder and it has slightly confused me

 

Think you need a longer banjo bolt and extra copper washer into the M/C, two lines the same length and some p clips to stop em rubbing on yer mudguard. You can buy banjo bolt bleed nipples for bleeding at the M/C.

 

Will those parts not come with the kit if you order the race setup

 

Should do apart from the M/C bleed nipple.

 

Ok thanks im sure i can find somebody who has 1 of those

 

Here you go.. DOUBLE BANJO BOLT BLEED STAINLESS M10x1.25 Goodridge | eBay You'll just have to check its the thread size.

 

You get all the kit you need to do the mod with the lines you buy mate!

 

All fittings you need come in our (HEL) kits. You won't need to modify anything to fit them tho

You won't need a banjo bolt with bleed nipple. All 1000RR's have a bleed nipple built in, or should do anyhow.

See the group buy we are running at the moment

 

Thanks for that but if all the stuff needed comes with the brake lines then i shouldnt need that

 

yes i have already asked for some of them

 

Not quite sure what you would need the bleed nipple banjo for? For a start the master cyl banjo is upside down..

 

Better to bleed the system from the M/C Arthur, sticks outta the banjo bolt head!

 

But there is a bleed nipple already in the master cylinder so no need for the bolt with bleed nipple? All 1000RR's 04+ have a bleed nipple built in.

Also if you don't have a bleed nipple, just slightly crack banjo slightly open for one pump of lever (cover with cloth) and that'll sort it also

 

Masterblader with an RR4 reccomended em, don't do much with RR8 to 12s.

 

Radial MC's have 1 built in to the body already mate

 

Dunno about the new fangled stuff, just the older stuff!

 

Done hundreds mate, like JA says just crack off the banjo bolt, but like I say the Banjo on the master is under the cycl is it not? And as said they have bleeders on the top of the master...

Edit: just read your above post

 

Is there any performance gain from using the race setup instead of the standard over the mudguard way ?

 

It's very marginal to be fair. You do get slightly better brake feel and more equal performance from two full length lines when braking hard though.
