Brake hose length
« on: April 16, 2010, 05:30:23 pm »
 Any idea how long a one piece brake hose (no junction box) for a CB500 with Super Bike bars needs to be?

I used a chunk of aquarium tubing since it would hold its shape better than string.  Run the hose from your master cylinder to your caliper and measure the length.  Maybe add an inch or three.

Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.
