oem front brake line pictures

Post by agentpineapple »

anyone got some pics of an original front brake line setup, trying to put a standard bike back together, I've fished out some oem front lines, but which ever way I try to fit them, it just ain't happening, there's every chance i'm being a dufuss...(mac comment here!), but there's also a chance I've not got the right lines.
so can anyone post up a picture of a storm with the front wheel off and original brake lines in place.
btw I've looked at microfiche on ron ayers for help, but i'm none the wiser... :(

There you go Duffus...F2 but should be the same for F version.

The line for the L/H calliper will be the longer one.

The bottom pic the brackets that go to the forks are unbolted.

Route the lines. Connect top banjo...leave loose. Connect the bottom banjo's. Bolt up the splitter...leave loose.

When your happy with positions, tighten all the banjo's up (you have used new copper washers haven't you...) Tighten the splitter. Then connect up the brackets onto the forks. Fill with fresh fluid & bleed.

Or scuff your knuckels as you have fat fingers ( not tiny Jap hands ) & bleed...

No it doesn't...Use a syringe to push fluid in from the bottom...much quicker.
