8mm banjo? Where?

[Guest]

In an effort to replace those leaky top end oil lines I took them to a hydraulic shop, but they are unable to source 8mm banjos
I checked out AN plumbing, and didn't see 8mm there either.
Does anybody know where to get 8mm banjos?

And no wise cracks about instrument stores for mice either...

Why not use the factory parts?
Part# 09360-08008 Desc BOLT UNION USD Price 2.97

It's not the bolt I need, it is the fitting on the end of the hose. Those are the problem. Suzuki doesn't sell the oil lines anymore.

8mm = .315 = 5/16ths

google is your friend.

I suspect what you need is actualy called a 10mm banjo.

hmmmm according to my contact the lines are still available.
the correct part numbers are:

11281-31305 right side
11282-31305 left side

bike bandit numbers are:

476546-001
476553-001

you will never find the right parts if you use the wrong terminology.

My oil lines are #3 AN and 1/4 pipe thread. (10mm)

8mm banjo is slang and probably not recognized by an American Hydraulic shop..

5/16 is 8mm and if you tell them your whole motorcycle story wasting their time and patients -- all help stops for JAP CRAP and the weird owners.

educate yourself on industrial fluid transfer Farm and fleet is a store around here that has everything you will ever need to move pressurized oils..

summit racing catalog
Jegs racing catalog has the cool blue and red annodized stuff and steel braided hose. along with colored accessories.

Hey Focus, remember, Great White North, we can't get anything from Suzuki for a reasonable price in anything less than 10 days. $60 bucks a peice for the stock lines and can't have them until the middle of April.

Holy Grumpiness Trippivot, I went to two of the two hydraulic suppliers in my area, it is not an agricultural centre (if I was in Saskatchewan I could score these lines the same day) and the old guy who makes the lines told me he could not source the 8mm banjo from the top of the line, he could get the 10mm banjos at the bottom of the lines no problem. We do understand metric up here in Canuckada

Oh, yeah Focus, I found that page before, but the top Banjo has a 15deg offset so it will clear the carb linkage, a straight one would put the hose up against the choke linkage. If I could use a straight one there I would be set.
Positive, the top one is 8mm 15 deg offset, the bottom is 10mm straight.
