Brake Conversion

Post by carmanbikes »

When doing the CBR 600 F4 caliper and master cylinder conversion will the hel brake lines fit off the firestorm or do I need these from the CBR as well

iirc they'll fit no problems, if your fitting the cbr600 calipers to storm forks, you will have to either mod the caliper or the fork lower, its easy enough, just use a dremmel.

I would have thought hoses to fit the Storm would be the ones to go for, after all you have only changed the calipers and master cylinder, so the hoses shouldn't have any further distance to go if the hose connection points are more or less in the same positions as they were on the old calipers.

Why don't you measure the length you need, then either go into you local bike shop and check out the length of the new hoses, or email a seller and ask them what length the Storm hoses are. Or even easier, see if your old original brake hoses will be the required length,
