1978 CB750F brake lines
« on: October 01, 2025, 03:09:19 PM »
Hello, Does anyone have the OEM specs of the front and rear brake lines? Length, banjo bend, etc.

I've ordered a kit from two different vendors and they both arrived with wrong pieces. I'm working on getting them getting corrected, but is there a reputable seller out there?

Who did you get them from?

I bought a set from Raymond Chan for my 78F and they come close to correct.

We've bought 7 or 8 sets of brake lines from Raymond/Apex Brakes for various bikes and all of them fit great.

Thanks for the replies, guys.

When I sent the original post I was frustrated because the lines I got from GBrakes where completely wrong and the set I got from Raymond weren't identical to the originals so I thought they weren't going to work either.

However, yesterday I mocked up the lines I got from Raymond and they work just fine.

I'm still working with GBrakes to get me an corrected set since they won't give me a refund so I'll have an extra set of front lines.
