    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I have an 82 850GZ. I am going to be getting SS braided lines:-D. Im just kinda confused on all the different types of kits and fittings and so forth. I am not sure of the degrees of the different banjos. On my rear, one fitting is not straight, but slightly bent. Then the other banjos on the other ends of the lines are curved the same degree. I'm just not sure what degree it is curved at. On the paragon website, they have the whole kit for $153.50. I didn't know if they included everything before I give them a call tomorrow. Thanks guys.
 
When I built the lines for my 850 the shop sold me two 5' pieces of -3 hose with straight banjos crimped on to each end. I also bought four 30 degree angled bolt-on banjo fittings. I cut the 5' pieces to proper length and then bolted on the angled fittings. Very simple. Cost me $100 for everything. http://www.anplumbing.com/shop/index.php?
 
The Whole kit OEM replacement should come with 4 lines. May come with 3 three if the union under the stem is eliminated. SHould come with everything
When I did my 850 the rear hose was loose in the mounting clips. I cut some pieces of 3/8 fuel line like 3/4 " long cut lengthwise as a shim

you dont neccessarily have to have the same banjos as from the factory. they can be different shapes as long as their fitting/placement is not obstructed in any way and the hose at the banjo end is not sharply bent
in other words "the kit" is likely to be suitable and if you're ordering separate bits - well, theres some room for play :-D and "visual improvements"
