Need brake line measurement for anti-dives.

[Jd Powell]

I have an 80 1000G. I recently purchased a set of forks from an 1100E? Which have the anti dive units. What I need is the eye to eye length of the hoses that go from the caliper to the anti dive units. Also any info on what angle fittings they use, and routing would be helpfull.
Thanks, J.D.

Hoses

J.D.
I just measured mine on the bike and it is sorta difficult because the hose passes through a keeper on the inside of the lower tube. I only have a metal tape but I will use the same measurements when I replace my hoses too, so if it's wrong we're both screwed. I got 12 1/2 inches from the inside of the eyes, not the middle. Because of the smaller diameter of the new tubing I would suggest 12 1/4 or perhaps 12 even. I think I will go 12 1/4. The rear fitting is straight and it is on the rear of the double banjo bolt. The front fitting is 20 degrees toward the fork leg. I hope this is what you need and I also hope that someone has one off the bike for a better measurement.

I would recommend simply blocking off the anti-dive units and running lines direct to the calipers only. The anti-dive is hard to bleed, contributes to mushy lever feel and offers no increase in performance.

Even better, add Progressive Suspension or Race Tech fork springs, and block off the anti-dive.

stainless line measurements

Here are the measurements for the kit from paragon performance. I assume they are correct i haven't tried mine on the bike yet.



Front
1 Ct. -03 SS
10mm 35 degree bent banjo X 10mm straight banjo, 18.5" OAL
(Banjo orientation 90 degrees)


2 Ct. -03 SS
10mm 35 degree bent banjo X 10mm straight banjo, 21" OAL
(Banjo orientation 90 degrees)

2 Ct. -03 SS
10mm straight banjos each end
(Anti Dive lines), 13.5" OAL
(Banjo orientation parallel)


Rear:
1 Ct. -03 SS, 10mm 20 degree bent banjo X 10mm straight banjo, 37" OAL
(Banjo orientation parallel)

I agree with Mark!

Ha, I knew I'd get a few of ya tellin me to forego the anti dive. However I am a tinkerer by blood. I bought the anti dive forks just to try out. I am also using a CBR 929 m/c & Russel SS lines. My current setup has progressive springs and racetech cartridge emmulators. I am just mucking about to see what configuration works best. I even tried out a pair of L model forks for a bit. :-D
