    Quick brake question.

    My 2005 has braided brake lines fitted, they run down the back of the RH fork and behind the top yoke down to the calipers. As the lines are at the back, they touch the radiator under heavy braking, I'm not happy with this.

    I've tried to find a picture showing the routing, but with no success.

    Can anyone tell me, should the brake lines go infront of the bottom yoke before looping back between the forks and down?

    Thanks.

    Pete

    Think they normally go in front on most bikes?

    Thanks, I suspected as much.

    I've got some new pads coming, so when I fit those I will try the brake lines through the forks.

    Thanks for your help, the brake lines went throught the forks perfectly. I have no idea what the previous owner thought he was doing?
    Fitted new EBC HH pads and it's ready to go.
