Glad you just said that
I'm fitting Renthals to my StormFighter and have the brake lines sorted but I'm struggling with the clutch hose.
Have you fitted a braided clutch hose?
If so, where did you get it from and can you remember how long yours was?
Cheers fella

Why don't you just get a length of string and run it along the brake hose, then measure it to see how long it is?

Obviously I can do that but I still don't know who would make up a special

Thanks Timbo, great stuff!
I've contacted the ebay seller.
Cheers

sorry mate thank you very much they did the trick my bike now has a shiney new m,o,t the work list was quite long this time round it needed new front fork oil seals (i had em in the cupboard ready), speedo sorted (3 hours to check wiring and clocks to find dead part ), front sidelight wire repaired, exaust sealed, rear brake pedel unseizing, and complete disassembly of the front end to remove and refit forks ie fairings, handlebars ect o and sort out erratic misfire and now fially i can go and see my dad tommrow who is in hospital in south kent, once again many thanks timbo your a life saver

my dad is making a good recovery and we are all hoping that he is gona be going home in the next week

one thing makes me laugh i have travel'd from here where i live in north yorks down the A1/A1m, toA14/M11, M25 over the dartford crossing then to M20 to ashford and then A20 to folkestone and back to north yorks and not one person has spotted me! my stealth suit works

lol well best to stay outa my way

The rest of us were out on the twisty roads, them straight ones are too flat and boring.

If you're down this way again, I'm near J3 M25, could meet up or stay over, even, if that's any help?
(It's only an hour more to where you're heading, though).

20 mins away from Brands Hatch, so there's a track day possibility, too.

Good to hear your dad's ok.
