CB550 Front Brake Hardline Hose Side Fitting?
« on: December 18, 2013, 12:32:33 PM »
Does anyone know what the flare and threading is on this? I can't find the info anywhere and need a new brake line made and the place is asking for it. Thanks!

best to pull out a thread gauge and measure it, but if its the same TP as that banjo, its probably M10x1.25
someone else will need to verify

The caliper tube uses a m10x125 tube nut with a 45 degree double flare.
