750ss Cafe Racer: Advice please

Post by Flatline »

The clutch hose is 900cm long, however I would like to re-route it

Will it have an adverse affect if I use a longer one?

An extra 20-30cm for instance?

Also, can lengthened spark plug leadss be used?

As always I look forward to your help

Can't imagine a longer clutch line will have any adverse effect, once the air is bled out. The only thing to watch is any interference with swingarm etc.

No problem with either, just have them as short as you need, +1 on the correct bleeding, try not to have any parts of the pipe running ' up hill ' as it where to help with bleeding... can't wait to see it. :thumbup: :thumbup:

I can't see extending a clutch hose up to the extra length you mention making any difference.

As for extending spark plugs leads I'm guessing, won't make much difference if you can fit a new lead as in one piece. Joining an extra length to existing lead will not be so good.
