Topic: Single Stainless brake line with in-line brake sensor; '75 CB550

[davegoround]

Hey all,  I am almost certain this question has been asked before, but I can't find a solid thread on it.

I am cleaning up a 1975 CB550 with a single front disk.  I'm keeping the stock master and caliper.

I would like to use an in-line brake sensor switch, at the master, and purchase a single stainless steel braided line to run from the master to the caliper.

I need to know what length of brake line to order, and what angle ends to put on it.

Has anyone done this, or knows of a thread where this is done well?  Thank you!

No one can tell you the length. You need to figure out using wire or some such. Get the front end off the ground so you have full suspension droop then route your wire. You may want to start with fittings installed to get the most accurate length. Most use a banjo fitting at the master and either another banjo or a straight fitting at the caliper. I prefer straight fittings myself but that is personal preference. Once you get the line put it all together, bleed and go.
