Shorter Brake Hose Help
« on: August 21, 2008, 12:31:40 PM »
I recently added clipon bars to my 1974 Honda CB350F.

I need a shorter upper brake hose.

The braided hoses are nice however not in my budget at the moment.

Will this Yamaha brake hose work with my bike?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trkparms=tab%3DWatching&viewitem=&item=300068073811&_trksid=p3907.m32

I see it has two banjo connections at eash end.
Thats what I need but are these universal. Will it fit on my honda?

Thanks in advance.

Without knowing the length of it I could not answer that.  I do believe that banjo's are universal.  But I do not know as much as some other guys here.

Most, but not all, Japanese motorcycle banjos are 10mm you will just have to experiment with length
