K4 stock brake hose length
« on: January 21, 2016, 05:52:06 AM »
Hi All,

This my first post in the forum, I have been a passive reader for a while but I have decided to sign up and join the conversations.

I am replacing the brake hoses on my K4 with braided ones but it seems the hoses I have there now aren't exactly the stock length. They are not too long either but longer than what I have been told they should be.

Can someone please let me know what the length of the top and bottom hoses is?

I want to ensure I get the braided ones the right length.

Thanks
Vini

I have a K4, the lentgth of the lower hose is 13" overall.

Sorry, dont have a stock upper as I have super bars.

Thanks for replying to me, 13" looks too short though. Is that from bolt to bolt?

I have had a look at the link, I wish he mentioned the lengths there.
