There is a heck of a Daytina Bike Week deal at Galfer and Motosport right now where you get the rear SS line free with the purchase of fonts.
I'm going with custom length 2 separate front lines in triple black: black lines, banjos and bolts for my Raven. Should look sick!
I mocked up the front lines with my Rox 1" up and 1" back risers, that has my stock rubber line a bit on the snug side currently. I put a bit of slack in the new line set up.
But I am curious, just how much does the front fork travel when unweighted, potentially putting the brake line(s) in stress?
I have no way to lift the front of the bike off the ground in my shop other than jack it on the headers or take the exhaust system off, neither of which I want to do. If anyone knows I would appreciate it!
BTW, I researched a lot on one front line down to the calliper over the fender to the other side, vs 2 separate lines from the front master cylinder. This is the best explanation from Sandro, a pretty smart dude at Galpher. Speigler has yet to return one e-mail :-(
The performance differences between the two are:
1 line down and then jumping from caliper to caliper is not preferred because in the event one caliper overheats, the other one is also compromised, also, in the event something breaks the fender off, chances of taking the lines along with that are very high, thus many manufacturers have now moved away from that routing….
Pressure or performance is identical otherwise, there are no gains or losing.
