Front brake line routing

[Guest]

I'm installing stainless brake lines from earl's. I'm eliminating the splitter and going with two lines - each line will go directly from the master cylinder to its' respective caliper. Does anyone have any pictures of how they routed their lines when they did this mod?

I don't have a good picture of mine, but it's easy to explain. (Search for the home-made stainless steel brake line thread. There are some pictures of this setup in there.)

The line goes from the master cylinder and runs down through the triple tree, through the speedo cable holder, and to the left caliper. The double-banjo goes here and then the other line loops up over the fender to the other caliper. Hold the loop in place via the brake line brackets that are already there.

At least a few people have used this setup with no issues, myself included.

I use 2 lines directly from the master cylinder, 1 to each caliper. Sorry, I got no pictures, but I can take some if needed. Paul

Thanks Charles, but I'm not doing the "loop over", I'm doing 2 separate lines.
Paul - if you could post a couple of pics when you get a minute, that would be great .
Anyone else??

Here you go



Here are a couple of pics I snapped last night. Wheel end and M/C end. The fairing covers everything else. Hope this helps, Paul

Thanks Paul! I think I've got a good idea to get me started.
