brake line help **no longer needed, got new line**

[befdelta7]

hi, any one know where i can get a front brake line for my cagiva supercity 125cc J-reg 1992 new or second hand.

iv been to 6 places today and cant find a place that can either repair my old line or make me up a new one or even sell a ready made hose for my bike.

one place said that it look like a car fitting on one end and a motorcycle fitting on the other

can anyone shed some light on this as i need my bike A.S.A.P for work.
cheers,
james

Hi

I expect that you can just use a normal banjo fitting on the caliper end, rather that the screw in fitting Cagiva had a habit of using.

All the best

They're normal banjo fittings. Got a full stainless set on my for under £60. Just run a string along the length and measure it. Decide on what angle you the fittings and get any (half decent) shop to make it up.

Hi

Screw on hose at the m/c? Not what I thought.

I would expect the fitting on the actual m/c and caliper are standard ones. If you get a kit normally it will come with lines (with end fittings), banjo bolts and copper washers.

All the best

yeah, its usually the othe way round tho - you clean it, then it rains for the next few days.

simple solution to that... the lazy way to clean your bike, if it is going to rain wash the bike step back and then let the rain rinse it off... saves time too

whats the avarage price to get a line made up?
if i get a banjo fitting for it on the caliper and the master cylinder end it should be fine??
what do you get with a brake line kit? obviously the brake line any fittings??

wemoto.com do a braided front brake line for your bike, 30 quid (ouch)

[befdelta7]

hi,
all solved now. got a goodrich hose and a couple of banjo bolts and copper washers cost me in total £28 something odd. front brakes stopping power now is amazing compared to the std brake line

thank you all for your replys and suggestions
