SS brake line kit for cb750 k7
« on: October 24, 2019, 12:26:59 PM »
Hi,

I'm looking to swap out the stock brake hose with a SS hose directly from a Nissin MC (on clip-on) to the original hard line on the caliper side. I purchased a Goodridge hose (before I read about the many forum members disappointed with its quality) only to realize that the an3 fitting is too small for the hard line male end. In short I have 2 questions:
1. What size/type of female fitting would I need to connect to the hard line?
2. Can anyone recommend a DOT approved supplier that can make / supply a custom sized kit (hose, banjo, and crush gaskets)? Reasonable price is a bonus 😊

Thanks!
Jonathan

Apex brake lines from Canada. I have ordered 5 sets from them. Just tell him what bike you have and he will have them shipped out to you in like 24 hours.

Thanks for the recommendation. Are their brake lines DOT approved?
