Custom made Brake Hoses.

[sirch345]

I may need some longer front brake hoses when I get around to doing the flat bar handlebar conversion.

I see a couple of listings on-line for companies who offer this service, so I was wondering who you guys recommend or have used for this

Cheers,

Chris.

I've used these a few times, the guy is called Stuart, very knowledgeable and helpful, they do a build line which you can do yourself, you just give them your dimension and they supply everything needed

Thanks Guys for all your help, very much appreciated

Are stainless steel banjo bolts okay to use in the calipers and master cylinder, or should I stick with original steel type seeing as I can't use copper slip or anti-seize compound on those threads without the possibility of some of it ending up in the brake fluid

Cheers,

Chris.

They are fine.
You don't need full tensile strength for the banjos.
But avoid aluminium.....

Pirtek are the people you can use,look for one local to you. I wouldn't try and make your own they can be right Bast£$% to get to seal. Or try your local your local bike dealer if they don't do them they should know a man that does

I use Venhill, what I find good about them over other makes is you can swivel the banjo's to any position easily, handy when custom fitting.

Thanks Geoff for the info Pirtek are a bit far away from me to drop in, unless of course they could make them up while I wait. I'll check out my local bike shop and see what they have to say.
