Does anyone offhand know the brake hose lengths for the stock 85 FJ1100 with antidive?  Mine aren't totally shot, but I'd like to keep riding in the interim of replacement (I'm going to rebuild the master cylinder at the same time), which makes it hard to measure them.

Should be 5 total cables for the front

Much appreciated if someone has already went through this - thank you!
Bike:

- K&N individual filters
- Vance & Hines stainless exhaust

Measure them and have them custom made and hope you did not screw up the measurements and hope the banjos are oriented the correct way....or buy a plug and play kit with all 5 lines already made to the correct length.

Tip: Spiegler lines are some of the very best available.

3) Replace your old stock rubber brake lines.

I would eliminate the 2 short ones and save yourself some money and dead weight


When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

I have bought ones with banjos that can be turned. JMT

I happen to have new ones by my side so here you are:
MC to splitter:  345 mm.
Splitter to calipers (2 pcs.): 490 mm;
Calipers to A-d units (2 pcs.): 305 mm.

Measured from center to center of each banjo. Give or take a few milimeters.

You're welcome!

Ah, if you were from Europe I would've recommended you an online store with good prices but, since you aren't I don't think it would be worthwhile considering taxes and customs.
