78 750f front brake line picture
« on: April 19, 2010, 05:39:58 AM »
Could someone take a picture (or 2) of the brake line routing from the Master cylinder to the 3 way joint.
I don't think mine is correct, it has tight bends that just don't look right to me.

I'm putting new lines on and want to make sure it's correct.

Thanks

   No, that's not right. I'm spending some shop time with mine tomorrow. If you haven't gotten what you need by tomorrow night I'll post some pics.

Here is a picture showing the handle bars.
I was wondering if they are not stock.  Which would explain the tight turns in the brake line.

   Hey 2wheels, I never made it to my shop yesterday but spent time there today...without a camera. The routing for the line is pretty straight forward. It runs off the master, through the bracket that holds the speedo/tach, and then to the splitter. With yours looking like it does I'd guess that the line is a replacement and too long. It would be just about impossible to get a proper length line to look the way yours does

HTH...Mike

Those bars look a little lower than stock.

   Yeah, that would explain it too.

Ok
I have a new line (actually I'll replace all 4 lines with ss braid from pampadori) on order.
Hopefully I can route it so the bends are not so tight.

I have been looking at handle bars, can anyone tell me the stock height for my 78 750F?
And where I might find a set, just in case I decide to change.

The brake line is sorted out.

Now I find if I ride longer than 30 minutes my hands are numb.

Is it these low bars?  See the picture up a couple posts.

There is vibration on the bars.  Any ideas
